DEDICATION In a humble and entirely inadequate expression of extreme gratitude for the service rendered to us and to our country, we, the class of 1945, dedicate this yearbook to the sacred memory of the former Trade School pupils whose gallant names appear upon our Gold Star Honor Roll. To them we owe our whole future. They have died to preserve the heritage of democracy handed down to us from Lexington, Concord, Gettysburg, and the poppy covered fields of Flanders. We realize’ that their sacrifices have been made that we might have and enjoy “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Trade Beaver “t ; Pa eer ‘ be far away” inter comes can spring gy mw This picture of the school was taken by Mr. Elvin on February 8th, 1945, the day after the great blizzard. 1945 Trade Bieaey DR. GEORGE A. BURRIDGE Trade’s Principal This year marks the thirtieth milestone in Dr. Burridge’s career as an educator in Trade School. Thirty years of honest effort to help young people find their places in the industrial fields of the world. It has been mainly through the efforts of Trade’s principal that twice in the period which he has been our leader, larger and more modern schools have been constructed to meet the demands of Trade School education. Our present fine building and our excellent equipment are due mainly to his unceasing efforts to have the best for Trade School. PIPDIGIGIPIPAZIIGA WALA ALT V Ga QV CC ae This year for the first time, the Gold Beaver has been awarded to a woman member of the faculty, Dr. Margaret C. Ells, Assis- tant Principal of Trade School. This award was made by unani- mous vote of the Student Council that felt that Mrs. Ells justly deserved this high recognition for her untiring efforts to promote the individual welfare of our boys and girls, our school, and our working relationships with community life. Her leadership, interest, and human understanding of young people has and will continue to inspire us all. 1945 Trade Beaver MRS. BLANCHE BURKE With the passing of Mrs. Burke, Trade School lost an able teacher and a true friend of youth. Her high ideals of Christian womanhood as daily éxemplified in her Home Nursing and First Aid classes will live in the hearts of the thousands of Trade School girls who were privileged to have her as a teacher. Margaret C. Ells, assistant principal WE CANNOT STAND STILL. With the publication of this Year Book we reach another milestone in our lives. To many of us this milestone marks the end of our formal education. Beyond this milestone we enter the world of industry. Up to the time of reaching ‘this milestone we have had teachers who thought more of us as individuals or people, than they did of production. Beyond this milestone we enter a world where more is thought of production than of single individuals. If we pause at this milestone and look back we will see why. In back of us is a whole sea of little faces, sixth grade, fifth grade, fourth grade, third grade and so on. Always a sea of little faces, ever changing, ever new, that form like ocean waves way out at sea and roll and roll, ever nearer, ever higher until they break on the shore at our feet, pushing us aside to make room for themselves. Every year in the United States there are over a million babies who reach the age of one year. Every year there are a million boys and girls who become sixteett years of age. If we stand at our present milestone these millions will catch up to us and be looking for the jobs that should have been ours so that the competition for our jobs is doubled. We cannot stand still. Some of us in school learned good work habits and good play habits. These will slip into industry smoothly and efficiently with no lost time. Others formed poor work habits. They will have to unlearn these and begin to relearn before industry has a place for them. We cannot stand still. Harold Donahue, Editor-in-chief Springfield Stabile, Fiore A. Ano, Charles H.

Perry Trade Beaver HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1945 1942-1943 It.was a group of scared and timid students that entered Trade School on September 9, 1942. Some of these students were destined to be called by the armed forces before they were able to finish their three years in Trade School. There were posters all around the building informing the new students where to report. The boys reported to the assembly hall, the girls to Mrs. Ells. Here we found out how the school functioned and what courses were available for students. The first few weeks we had trouble finding our way around the building. Many of us were sepa- rated from our friends because of the various courses we chose. The student association was explained in our first assembly and we were told the advantages of joining. One of the most entertaining assemblies that we had that first year was the hobo assembly in which several of the men teachers played leading roles. Another assembly was the Easter Cantata under the direction of Mr. Schuler, who is now setving in our armed forces. Part of our school was taken over by the Army in order to train soldiers in different courses. Great stress was laid on the sale of stamps and bonds, and under the leadership of Miss Tarr we were awarded the Minute Man Flag which has flown on the flag pole in front of the building during our entire stay here. In sports our Rifle Club developed many ex- pert marksmen. Our bowling team took the Western Mass. championship and our soccer team took both the city and Western Mass. championships. 1943-1944 When we returned to Trade in the fall of 1943, we were Juniors. There were new girls joining the two year courses. Our first real assembly was the Sadie Haw- kins assembly advertising the Sadie Hawkins dance. Our annual Christmas play, “The Christmas Road” was once again presented for the Christmas season. For a short time during our second winter some South American students were seen around the building while taking the airplane mechanics course. After school classes in social dancing were established under the direction of Mrs. Sullivan and Mr. Thomas. This enabled all students to learn how to dance. A band was also started under the direction of Mr. Persson. One of the great highlights of our junior year at Trade was “Victory Capers,’ a musical stage show under the supervi- sion of Mr. Quinn. This show proved a great success both financially and as enter- tainment. We had our first visitors’ night in the new Trade School. All parents of all students were invited to the school to visit all shops and classes. An honor roll was erected in honor of students who had left Trade School to serve their country. In the spring the Junior class had its first meeting and elected the following class officers to lead us in our third and final year: Valentino Ricci, president; Ada Casagranda, vice-president; Edith Nickerson, secretary; and Joseph Tesini, treasurer. In sports our football team ended the season with a good record, the best they had accomplished in recent years. This was highlighted by the fact that Coach Ted Plumb was thrown in the showers by the members of his football squad at the end of the season. Trade Beaver 1944-1945 Our class advisors for this, our final year, were Miss Tarr and Mrs. Perrin. As seniors we had senior class dances where we could get acquainted with one another. Once again we held our annual Trade School show. This year it was called “Trade Review of 1945” and again as last year it was a great success. An unfortunate incident that occured in Trade this year was the fire that started in the airplane shop. Fortunately it was quickly extinguished before it could do serious damage. Another event that saddened our senior year was the death of President Roosevelt who died on April 12, 1945, during his fourth term as president. About the middle of our third year we began to hear rumors that we were to have a nationally known figure as our graduation speaker. His name was not re- vealed to us until one day Dr. Burridge told us at assembly that he was to be Father Flannigan of Boys’ Town. By now we were beginning to make eager preparations for all the class events connected with graduation, and the year book committees be- gan to be very busily engaged. Our banquet which was to be held at the Kimball Hotel and the prom at the auditorium, which would be made festive for the affair by the twinkling lights of the crystal ball, became topics of much enthusiastic con- versation. Class Day also began to seem close at hand especially when a group of students began wandering about the building taking pictures to be shown that day. In sports our soccer team won the city championship. The print-shop won the intermural basketball championship and gained permanent possession of the bronze placque for being three-time victors in this sport. And so three pleasant and profitable years at Trade School are brought to a close and we stand ready to take our place in the world, hoping that before long it will be a world at peace.

Memories of our beauty, our culture, our charm, our great intellects, our inspiring presence, our pep and vigor, our nobleness—and also a dictionary to look up the rest of our good qualities. We also leave them our deep appreciation for their patience with us and for their untiring efforts in our behalf. To Mrs. Perrin and Miss Tarr, our counselors, we leave the following: Our guiding stars throughout the year to keep us on our course; To watch our treasury with care and husband each resource; To counsel, guide and harmonize, to tell us what to do, To keep our meetings within bounds and all our acts review; For these and many other things that fill us with elation, We will you many, many thanks—and our appreciation. Edward Audet leaves his math ability to Mr. Persson.

A nut is similar to the bolt only just the opposite, being a little hole in a chunk of iron sawed off short with wrinkles around the inside of the hole. Ruth Riley leaves to Miss Bransfield: A gift not likely to be spurned, The odor of the wigs she burned. Boyd Meadows says he has worried about this problem for two years, now he’s going to will it to James Meadows of the Junior class to worry about for next year; He says, “Suppose I ask a girl to marry me and she refuses and so to get even with her I marry her mother, a widow. Then my father, a widower, marries the girl. If I married the mother, the girl would become my daughter and since my father married my daughter, he would become my son. But if my father married my daughter she would become my mother. Now, if my father is my son and my daughter is my mother, who am I? If my daughter is my mother, then her mother must be my grandmother and so being my grandmother’s husband would make me my own grandfather.” Let James take it from there. To Mrs. Coleman, the Senior Class leaves: With their last exit through the door, The hope she'll lose her voice no more. Ralph Benedict leaves his dance racket to Renzo Rescia of the Junior class. As Ralph explains it, when he sees Paul Humiston of the Junior Class dancing with a gitl and stepping on her feet, he follows him around with corn plasters which he sells to the girls Paul dances with.

John Carter leaves his opportunity of becoming President of the United States to Carl Larson. John says he doesn’t want the job of being President because his teachers always taught him never to take a job that had no Opportunities of ad- vancement. Phyllis Vezina leaves this classic gem of a composition to Mrs. Johnson. Subject: A FOGGY MORNING. This morning when I got up and looked out of the window it was so foggy I could see nothing. If you can’t see nothing, you can’t write about nothing. The senior class leaves to the junior class, three impossible things. To equal the Class of ’45 in ability, achievement and beauty. Thus endeth the reading of the will of the Class of 1945. Signed, sealed and delivered this first day of June in the year one thousand, nine hundred and forty-five and of graduations from the new Trade School, and fourth. E. Pluribus Unum. By the committee: Sic Semper Tyrannus. =, es smn nT SSS SSS Su — Trade Beaver PROPHECY—CLASS OF 1945 At its first class meeting in September, 1944, the class of 1945 of the Springfield Trade School, realizing the tremendous world changes that would follow the ending of the second World War and seeing the national trends of nations, labor and man- agement, made an agreement among themselves that the members of the class of 1945 would combine their efforts to the furtherance of these aims. They firmly re- solved that all their energies and creative genius and the superlative might of their great intellects would be used in the field of invention and the results would be used in the interest of their country, their fellow men, and the City of Springfield. It was also agreed that the class should work as a unit upon any and all inventions developed by its members and share cooperatively in the profits of such develop- ments. This idea was given a great send-off when in January, 1945, Don Elliott and Joe Tesini of the electrical department, came out with an invention that changed thought waves into light waves so one could see what one was thinking. The ma- chine disclosed the fact that, like fingerprints, the thought waves of no two people are the same length. For this reason the thought wave lengths of all members of the Class of 1945 were recorded. It now became possible with this machine, since thought waves are 100,000 times faster than light waves, to pick up the thought waves of any class member and by means of a radar attachment, bring these thought waves back to the machine where they were changed into light waves. This machine created such a sensation that Mr. Hesse was invited to address the National Convention of Electrical Engineers at Radio City to explain the workings of the machine. His description was the simplest yet given and was as follows: “It is known that brain waves with an unknown firing potential having second harmonics with oscillations, producing a single sweep and return brace blanking of spot size. A high vacuum, full of deflecting plates resulting in an electrostatic field with a slight charge full of isotopes. No focusing intensity bound by a helix with a low Q factor full of overtones and harmonics resulting in a degenerative circuit would be hard to trace with an electron stream. _ One thing is certain, an electron gun with the high plate potential to increase the velocity produced by a good grid swing, with a swing choke and a forward pitch, necessary feedback, a handful of ions in a glass tube mixed with currents, would result in greater sensitivity, less distortion and no stray circuit capastances without figures and a cathode follower.” This description took the electrical world by storm. The machine was patented and no one outside of the class of 1945 could use it. Don and Joe named the machine after two of their instructors and called it the Hesse-Tating-Plaus-O-Scope.”’ Don and Joe were the first ones tested in the machine and the Hesse-Tating- Plaus-O-Scope showed that after a few years they would sell their invention for three million dollars, which they would spend in riotous living and in twenty five years would be back shifting scenes and operating switches for Trade School plays. The next one to come under the magic spell of the machine was the Class presi- dent, Valentino Ricci. The Hesse-Tating-Plaus-O-Scope, with the dial set at twenty five years, showed him running a night club on the moon. He called it the “Bella Luna.” People reached the night club by means of a new rocket, called the E-Dart, (Trade spelled, backwards,) invented by Leon Hall and Casimir Haluck of the auto department. The flying time between the earth and the moon was six hours. Entertainment was furnished by eight dancing girls from the Trade Revue of ‘45, Margaret Harrington, Stella Wroblewski, Mary Bradley, Betty Black, Carabelle Hastie, Jean Meyer, Pauline Blair and Ada Casagranda. One of the feature novelties of entertainment was the “Blow Torch Quartet,” consisting of Carlton Carson, Hudson Inniss, Cleveland Webb and Arthur Gray, all members of the Welding department. As they sang they swung lighted welding torches which played musical harmony. In all night clubs it is necessary to have a strong-arm man to handle slight cases of exuberance and the ‘Bella Luna” was no exception. This individual in night club parlance is known as ‘‘The Bouncer.” In this case it proved to be none other than our old classmate Ray Costello. During quiet periods Ray would take his pri- vate Rocket and journey over to the planet Saturn, the one with the rings around it, 1945 1945 Trade Beaver PROPHECY—CLASS OF 1945 and throw a basketball through the rings. He said it reminded him of the Com- merce basket. The members of the Commercial Art Department, Edward Richardson, Frank Skowron and Stanley Srodulski, united in developing a new technique of Sky Writ- ing in colors. Their first sky ad., ‘Try Trade School Rhubarb Pie,” written in fea- thery, white letters against a modernistic background done in red, yellow, green and blue, brought so many hungry people to Trade School that the National Guard had to be called out to restore order. After that, there was no doubt of the success of this form of advertising. The members of the Interior Decorating group, Bob Chin, Stuart Gibbings and Robert Smith used the Hesse-Tating-Plaus-O-Scope in reverse to such good advan- tage that their profits were so enormous that the government offered to swap places with them. Their idea was to spray a sensitized solution all over the inside of a house with a power sprayer and then by simply turn ing the machine towards the wall and thinking of a color the thought waves would instantly transfer that color to the walls. The Hesse-Tating-Plaus-O-Scope when tuned in on the members of the Radio Department found that Francis Devlin, Robert Davis and Ralph Hines went to med- ical college for a year to study brain structure. They found out that the brain is made up of many different compartments, one for memory, one for math, one for music, etc. They knew that if you run a comb through your hair it generates elec- tricity, so they invented a hollow comb of secret metal, filled with a mixture of helium gas and lead and an antistatic solution so all that was necessary to tune in on any station was to run the comb through the hair growing above the desired brain compartment and the station came in direct without any radio. This did away with radios except for bald headed men so the radio manufacturers set out to liquidate the inventors but they escaped by rocket to a newly discovered planet named Rae, after its discoverer. The machine showed that Maurice Desrosiers, Paul McLaughlin and Leo Valen- tine of the Airplane Department added to the glory of the class by their invention of a practical Skyhook for planes. They figured that the earth revolves at the rate of 1000 miles per hour. Chicago, for instance is 1000 miles away, so all you have to do is gO up straight in your plane with their patented skyhook, anchor the plane, wait for the revolution of the earth to bring Chicago under your plane, pull in the Sky- hook and there you are,—in Chicago in one hour and only one quart of gas used. The machine foretold that in the Print Shop, Bart Schieffer and Roland Girard would invent the O’Brien advertising sign which consisted of two lights, one on each side of a store window. One light cast a shadow across the sidewalk, five feet from the ground. The other light threw letters on the shadow so that every one on the sidewalk saw the advertisement and walked right through it. It started a tremen- dous business necessitating the services of John Carter, Robert Clark, Antonio Costa oining in. : Sa Boudreau, Edward Brosch, Edwin Burt, Earl Chase, and Robert Choiniere of the machine shop combined their talents and produced the most curious invention of the century. It was a laundry machine that automatically sewed on half buttons after you got your shirts back from the laundry. They realized that shirts generally come back from the laundry with the buttons broken in half in a horizontal position so they won't stay buttoned. Their machine had two sensitive fingers that cut these buttons off, turned them around at right angles and sewed them on again across the buttonhole so they stayed buttoned. Arshever Derdeiian, James Durkin, Edward Garwacki, Edward Lapata and Stan- ley Matyscyzk were operating a factory to manufacture lawnmowers and snow shovels that worked by remote control so the owner can sit in the house and have his lawn cut and side-walks shoveled without going outdoors. Ralph Benedict, Hugo Bertini, Arthur Bergeron, Russell Farrell, Carl Larson, Raymond Odell of the Pattern Department, were doing a rushing business manufac- turing a collapsible floor invented by Edgar Wilson and Eugene Lemire. To clean house all you had to do was press a button, the floor swung down in the middle like two doors, all the dirt dropped down into the cellar and the floors came back in place. They had a great deal of trouble at first with the furniture, which in 1970 was all made out of plastics but Frank Nalepa, John O'Connor, Sidney Porter, Tony Ruelli, a et RR Re er ten ET ci le eee aca Trade Beaver PROPHECY—CLASS OF 1945 John Serra, Fred Severyn, Robert Sharpe, Joseph Victor and Ted Sak of the machine shop came to the rescue with a magnet that would attract plastics. These magnets were placed in the ceilings of the rooms and the magnetism turned on at cleaning time so that all the furniture jumped up to the ceiling and stayed there until the floor came back into place. The Sheet Metal dept., Ray Beane, Bob Dietrich, Bob Ollari, Paul Pettinato, Zegmund Sadowski and Fred Surdyka were busy for a number of years putting steam boxes into refrigerators to do away with defrosting. It took the public ten years to find out why their refrigerators wouldn’t get cold. It will now take ten years to take the steam boxes out again, after which the government is sending them to Greenland to heat Igloos. The Auto Dept., Jas. Argiro, Willard Calloway, John DiCassio, Bob Haraty, Edward Michalczyk, Stephen Skowran and Fred Tuburski, invented a new type of motor to take the place of the gasoline engine after the gasoline supply of the coun- try ran out. Their new motor used T.N.T. A ball of cotton was pushed in from one side by a plunger, some nitric acid was squirted on it by a pump on the other side, then the two mixed, were ignited and BANG! away you went,—somewhere. Edward Audet, John Dakers, Leo Elmassion, Boyd Meadows and Walter Phil- lips of the Electrical Dept. got up a device fitted inside of a suit of rubber clothing by means of which you could cut off the power of gravity over your body to any desired degree. By simply turning a knob one could step out of a second story win- dow and walk across the street to the second or third story window of a building opposite. Going home at night from vork, you just got the right adjustment, rose up over the buildings, spread out a small sail that came with the suit and sailed away home. Lester Dion, Robert Rushby, Robert Josefek and Harold Donahue of the Draft- ing Dept. were so busy making drawings for all these various inventions that they had to hire a number of their old Trade School teachers to run the blue-print ma- chines. As we read the thoughts for the future we see Dave Gallerani elected President of the United States in 1970. During the first year in office the strain caused Dave to lose all his hair and the girls no longer swooned when he sang ‘‘Ac-cent-u-ate The Pos-i-tive,” so Dave issued an order that all the people in the country should have their heads shaved so they would look like him. This was strongly opposed by the ‘Hairdressers’ Union” who invoked the referendum and recall and demanded Dave's impeachment and a new election. Supported strongly by the women voters under the slogan of ‘“With longer hair we look more fair,’ Hazel Caron was elected the first woman president of the United States. For her cabinet she chose Jacqueline Mann as Secretary of State, Grace Hen- riques, Secretary of Treasury; Pearl Minor, Secretary of War; Ruth Riley, Secretary of Navy; Marguerite Peabody, Secretary of Commerce; and Marcelle Gosselin, Secre- tary of Interior. She also placed Romona Rovatti, Alba Masi ani, Dorothy Fairman, Louise Coyer, Barbara Byrnes and Evelyn Fulton on the Supreme Court. That gave her six out of nine so she was sure she would always be right. The Hesse-Tating-Plaus-O-Scope reveals that over the radio, any night twenty- five years from now you will hear the following announcement: ‘‘The dress you never can surpass is made of Trade School stainless glass.” “Opalescent glass, resembling opals in its reflection of light. Iridescent, an ex- hibition of colors rivaling those of the rainbow. As fine as the finest silk.” Manu- factured at Springfield, Mass. by the Cooperative Power Machine Class of 1945, Alice Costa, Helen Costa, Lucia Emmanuel, Georgette Breton, Angelina DiDomenico, Virginia Doten. Three members of this group, Angelina Longo, Stella Zastepa and Theresa Gal- luzzo have invented a machine with a frame on one end on which you can place any knitted garment and when the machine starts it unravels it, runs the yarn through a compartment which washes it, sends it through another compartment where it can be dyed any color and from there on to a form at the other end where it is knitted back to its original form. i Y 1945 Trade Beaver PROPHECY—CGLASS OE 1945 It was impossible for them to keep up with their orders so they rented the ma- chines out on royalties and changed the financial center of the United States from Washington to Springfield. Their slogan was,‘WE DYE TO LIVE.” To promote and capitalize on the great discovery of Shirley Self and Edythe Lemon of Bakery and Foods and Catering, the two departments joined forces. Edythe had invented ‘‘Soup-de-Bouillon’”’ which had wonderful curative powers in the treatment of arthritis, puppy-love and rheumatism. Edythe also claimed it was good for corns and dandruff but this was never proven. Its ingredients were: one pail of water and one onion. What kind of an onion? Ah! There's the secret. A secret known only to Carlotta Barnett, Rose Cicchanowicz, Virginia DeSimone, Mildred Evans and Pearl Plant. This factory also produces a vitamin “Yo-Yo” invented by Rita Albano, made with one strand of macaroni and one meat ball. The invention of Shirley Self was the famous Trade School Rhubard Pie, baked in an air tight plastic container. On the top of each pie in beautiful blue and gold letters was the slogan, ‘Serve it cold or serve it hot, it’s always sure to hit the spot.” It would keep indefinitely and could be shipped to all parts of the country. It owed its delicious flavor to an error in making the first pie. When the rhubarb was picked there was a vine growing around one of the stalks. Investigation proved it was this vine which produced the unusual flavor. The vine was Rhus Toxicadendra. That is the Latin name for Poison Ivy. The secret is to put in the correct amount, known only to Irene Dabrowski, Helen Stupak, Jennie Kowalczyk and Phyllis Ciborowski. In 1970, the time about which this prophecy is written, rationing had been in- ereased to cover about everything a person used. This included pies, cakes, fruits, etc. But there was no rationing of hats or any hat decorations, so Rose Batista, Mary Cuocca, Barbara Dever, Tini Dieni, Josephine Fiorentino, Mary Mesisco and Thom- astine Wilson of the millinery department decided to try an idea advanced on the radio some years before but never followed up. They made a form to fit the head, to which they attached a pie plate, then baked a pie in the plate, added quarters of oranges, a few pieces of pineapple and a bunch of grapes in the middle. Then the customers wore the hats home and had salads for dinner. The Hesse-Tating-Plaus-O-Scope showed that the Vocational Home Making De- partment graduates, Beverly Lemoine, Lottie Wyzik, Julia Moore, Therese Gagne and Helen Hill would present an idea that would furnish employment for the pattern department. The idea was for a dining room table with a revolving center. All the food, sugar, salt, meat, etc., were placed in compartments on the revolving center then when anyone wanted sugar he pushed a button beside his place and the center revolved and stopped right in front of him. The other household luxury presented by Millicent Lyon, Thelma Johnson, Marjorie Hogan and Barbara Thompson consisted of placing all chairs on wheels with a motor attached. Whenever you wanted to go any place you started the motor and got there. It remained for the Dressmaking class o f ’45 to take all fear of accidents out of flying. This group Phyllis Vezina, Bethany Morrow, Mildred Hogan, Sylvia Guerri, Ruth Boisvert, Margaret DeMaio, Frances Watson, and Dorothy Allen, startled the world with the famed “Parachute Dress.’ It was of bewitching design for street wear, yet if anything happened to a plane in midair the wearer of one of these dresses simply stepped out of the plane into space and the frills, tucks and flounces of the dress became a practical parachute which brought the wearer safely to the ground. All one had to do was to get up enough courage to jump. So much did the inventions of the Class of 1945 contribute to the welfare of the City of Springfield that through the building of new industries and the employment of more people, the population of the city increased from 150,000 to 500,000 people. In fancy we have taken you through a land of dreams. We have dreamed of ourselves, our school, our city and our universe. The dream is over but the mem- ories will linger on. Soon we will separate; but no matter where we are in the future, we will, now and then, in memory, dream of meeting again at Ricci’s, at “Bella Luna’ on the moon. PHYLLIS VEZINA FRANCIS DEVLIN.

WEST SPRINGFIELD 19—TRADE 0 At) Pratt: Meld@onsOctopcte27athe Trade Combine lost a hard fought bat- tle to a big, overpowering West Spring- field High team. The Beavers were called back on two beautiful runs made by Inniss and Gal- lerani one of 54 yards and the other of 58 yards. The official ruled offside and the pigskin was brought back. Trade’s defense on passes was poor, and West Springfield took the advan- tage and hurled three touchdown pass- cs: TRADE 13—CLASSICAL 0 The Beavers remained in the win column after returning from Enfield, to plow under a fast, tricky Classical eleven. The Bulldogs hit a stone wall on the ground, so started a passing attack that failed. Inniss scored for the Beavers when he ran around his right end to hit paydrit. With only a little time left to play the Blue and White went to the air again. This time they passed right into the arms of Les Lion, Trade’s Lanky Right end, who intercepted a pass from Chuck Carson, for Trade’s second touchdown. NORTHAMPTON 18—TRADE 7 Trade Beavers met Northampton at Kearney for Trade’s final game of the season. This was Trade’s hardest fought game and was said to be one of the bruisiest games fought at Kearney. The first touchdown was scored in the second quarter when the Hamps intercepted a pass to start rolling in four more plays they scored the first touchdown of the game. They failed the extra point. During the third quarter Costello a hard plunger, plowed from their thirty-nine to their fourteen yard line for a gain of twenty-five yards. An aerial from Costello to Les Dion for Trade’s only touchdown. Dave Galle- rani, a hard hitting man, converted the extra point. The Hamps scored two more touchdowns but failed to score the extra points. Trade Beaver FOOTBALL SUMMARY When school opened in September, there was no time lost by Coach Ted Plumb getting a team to represent the Trade Beavers on the gridiron. With this being an- other wartime season, many veterans did not return. A total of 50 boys with high spirits reported. The boys were small, but what they lacked in size, they had in fight. Ted had to work with the Line more than with the Backfield. He was lucky in having four Veteran backfield men in the 50 boys who reported. Five of the Beavers won Recognition when they made the All-City and All- Western Mass. Honor Roll. They were John O’Brien, Guard; Edgar Wilson, Center; Les Dion, End; Ray Costello, Fullback; and Capt. Dave Gallerani, Right Half Back. All five boys were in the fighting all through the season. DAVE GALLERANI. TRADE 12—CHICOPEE 9 Trade opened the 1944 Gridiron season against an experienced and well coached Chicopee High School team. It was the first high school game for some of the Beaver boys but they showed that they had the makings. Trade was the first to score when Dave Gallerani shot around left end for a 50-yard gallop to set up the touch- down. Chicopee scored when a long pass found a receiver in the Beaver end zone for a Chicopee touchdown. That tied it up to 6 all, until the Skiptowners recovered a fumble over the Blue and Goal line for a safety and to step ahead 9 to 6. With a little time left to play, Ray Costello winged one of the best passes of his high school career, when he found the arms of Les Dion in Chicopee paydirt to take the contest at 12 to 9. WESTFIELD 12—TRADE 0 On September 29, 1944, the Westfield Bombers met the Trade Beavers at Pratt Field. Westfield won the toss up and received the kick off. The Westfield men using their T formation threw the Beavers off balance. The Beavers never had played against a team using the T formation until they met Westfield. Westfield rolled right along and scored their two touchdowns in the first quar- ter. Their two extra points were blocked by the Trade men. The Beavers finally mastered their opponents’ T formation and held the Westfield eleven the remaining three quarters of the game. LL Trade Beaver AGAWAM 19—TRADE 6 The Beavers opened their 3rd game of the season against a speedy, tricky, hard hitting Agawam combine. Agawam scored twice in the first half and once in the second half, Trade’s score came when Gallerani shot around right end for 19 yards. That started a march of 70 yards down the field, with Costeilo plunging through the Brownie line for the Beavers’ only score. TRADE 18—ENFIELD 6 On October 19 the Trade eleven went to Mount Carmel Park in Enfield, to re- turn to the win column by defeating a rough, rugged Enfield High team. The Beavers were not able to get rolling until the second half when Trade opened up as Costello passed two aerials, one to Dave Gallerani and one to Ray Dris- coll. They were both good for touchdowns. Webb scored the last touchdown for Trade after Enfield fumbled. Enfield scored after the Beavers lost the ball in the third period. be © os © = © oS o be 1945 ‘Ae PIL “wieqeyT prempy “ow ydasof ‘sorsmm% Auoy ‘awsyN¢s pivspq :Moy yssIy “AUWED IW Woqoy ‘meyswIy urajsy ‘oo1wede[g wes somry uyof ‘niwiyng W2I9Aq ‘vosjieD Wer“ ‘UAIZARg psIq ‘weyeiqy [Neg MOI puors¢ ‘oinde puowsy ‘UnIeW PUr[OY “Iejg yeqoy ‘uIyD Waqoy ‘Tys[epuory yayD ‘UOWMOIS ey U2TTeAM 932M “eIsOD OTuOwY ‘Astoz ydiey ‘AsuqInoWw ‘PA Yeo 234 8rr 0} 139] ‘mor yoeg SdWVHD YADDOS AIM ALID Trade Beaver SOCCER SUMMARY When soccer season got under way at Trade the boys were lucky to have the return of Coach Ed McGibney who was honorably discharged from the Navy.

Edgar Wilson was the only first string man held over from the previous season. Gallerani was pressed into service fresh from the gridiron, and Costello, DiVivo, Grondolski, Olmstead, Queros, and Simpson, were among the new recruits. Although the team’s wins were few, Wilson was declared good enough to be chosen for all-city honors while DeVivo made pro- merito. Many of these boys will show up next year for Trade and the win column will be sure to benefit.

Trade Beaver Trade Beaver BASEBALL SUMMARY 1944 When Trade School got under way with the National Pastime, Coach Chris Jensen lost no time in getting a nine to represent the Beavers on the diamond. A total of thirty players reported after the first call with a few veterans coming back for another season. The Trade nine lost their first game of the season to the Lions of Ludlow High School. Then they jumped into the win column by defeating a strong Westfield Club by a score of 8 to 4. With this win putting the Beavers on their feet, they smothered Holyoke Trade with an unbelievable score, 45 to 3. Their spirit was shattered when they were blanked by Cathedral Panthers 7 to 0. They were nosed out by the Tech Tigers with a close score of 11 to 7. After dropping a 14-3 decision with the Classical Bulldogs, they were rocked back on their heels when John Dineen pitched a 11 to 2 victory over the Blue and Gold. Trade broke its losing streak when they nosed out the Tech nine in a well pitched game. The Beavers lost four successive games in a row after this, two games to Classi- cal, and one to Cathedral, and Tech, and shined in the last two games when they came from behind with their spirits high after losing 4 straight games to win the last two and end up with a pretty fair season. 1944 BASEBALL SCHEDULE Won 5—Lost 9 April 25 Trade 2 Ludlow 3 Goel Ay Trade 8 Westfield 4 May 2 Trade 45 Holyoke Trade 3 May 9 Trade 0 Cathedral 7 May 11 Trade 7 Tech 11 May 15 Trade 3 Classical 14 May 18 Trade 2 Cathedral ily May 23 sicacdeme3 Tech 2 May 25 Trade 3 Classical 5 May 29 Trades Cathedral V7 iin Trade ws] Tech 16 junen Trade 6 Classical 8 June 9 Trade 9 Ludlow ih June 13 TradeG Holyoke Trade 5 e Beaver Trade Beaver INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL Be igs gu ie The Print Shop basketball squad in- cludes Ralph Osgood holding the ball, First row, left to right: Tony Costa, Michael Mascaro, Lawrence Tisdel, Sam Placanico.

The shops that participated in the athletic game were: Weld- ing, Pattern, Print, Machine A and B, Radio, Electric, and Auto. The Print shop won the first round without a defeat. The second was won by the Machinists when they defeated the Print squad in a close battle. The final game was played by the Machinist and Print Shop Squads. During this game the Print basketeers were given a tough and well played game by the Machinists, but the Print hoopsters outscored their squad by a margin of 4 points. All games were played after school except for the final when the Print and Machine shops were dismissed at 2:30. The winning team each year is given a plaque to hold until they lose unless they win for three years. If they do win for three years they keep the plaque forever. The Print Shop ring tossers were the champions of the intramural basketball league for three years. They now have the plaque in their possession and have earned permanent possession of it.

They brought several freshmen and senior teams. We used both gyms and played two games simultaneously. Miss Barbara Hollister, gym teacher of Commerce and Mrs. Sulli- van, refereed the games. Trade freshmen girls gave a very good account of them- selves. The score was Trade 24, Commerce 18. It was no easy victory for Trade and the girls worked hard for every point. Top scorer for Trade was Joan Workum with ten points, Helen Wyzik scored four and Charlotte Henry two. Guards were Jane Naciaga, Jean Wilkinson and Ruth Whitmore. At the half Ruth Whitmore moved in as substitute in the ad- vanced group and Avjela Pateiakis played guard. No more than three fouls were called on our guards in the whole game. The girls played a very good game. Senior girls played the advanced girls from Commerce and both teams were very evenly matched. Ruth Boisvert was top scorer for Trade with twelve points to her credit, Rose Ciechanowicz and Stella Zastepa scored six each giving Trade a score of 24 to 21 for Commerce. Helen Costa, Alice Costa, Mary Cooley and Ruth Whitmore played guard for the senior team. They worked hard for the Commerce girls were a snappy lot and did a fine job of handling the ball and playing their positions. On Wednesday, March 14, Miss Miriam Hatch, Tech gym teacher, brought a group of girls from Tech to play basketball with Trade girls. One group was com- posed of freshmen girls playing their first year of basketball and the second group was advanced girls. The teams played two games using both gyms. Miss Hatch and Mrs. Sullivan refereed half of each game. Trade freshmen girls did a fine job and won the game by the score of 46 to 1. Helen Wyzik was top scorer for Trade with a total of 22 points and Joan Workum scored 18, Charlotte Henry who played center forward scored 6. This fine playing would not have been possible except for the excellent team work of the guards who were Mary Cooley of Bakery, Ruth Whitmore of Beauty Culture and Mary Prez of Trade Dress. The senior girls played senior girls from Tech and lost 18 to 27. Top scorer for Trade was Rose Ciechanowicz who scored ten points, Stella Zastipa scored 4 and Rose Nowak and Helen Costa two each. Margaret Santinello and Louise Daniele also played forward. The guards were Marie Guerriero, Theresa Boyer, Martha Di Michele, Shirley Williamson, Virginia Marino and Pearl Plante.

In the final girl and boy handicap match in which Tony had to spot Jean three points to a target, Jean led for the first half of the match. However Costa forged ahead to overcome his early losses in the later half of the match to take the club championship. Many letters have been received from former members now in the armed services telling the club how much their shooting instruction and practice at Trade means to them after enlistment.

First year girls bowled at the National Alleys and the advanced girls at the Paradise. Mrs. Sullivan posted high singles'and high averages every week and we watched the bulletin board with much interest. Ruth Riley held the high single with 105 and high averages were held most of the time by Gertrude Ingoldsby, Rose Ciecha- nowicz, Marilin Robbins, Lennea Grunstrum, Theresa Boyer and Ruth Riley. Scores improved from week to week and everyone looked forward to the Inter- School tournament which took place at Bickfords on February 19.

Trade School’s cheerleaders did a fine job this year. Rose Ciechanowicz, Pearl Plante and Ruth Riley received their letters for cheerleading. Martha Di Michele, Virginia Marino and Barbara Smith helped out during the football season. There were times when Trade spirits were not too high yet these girls kept right on leading cheers to boost the morale of both football and basketball teams. Rose Ciechanowicz, Pearl Plante and Ruth Riley were not satisfied with just see- ing the home games, they managed to attend several out of town games to lend their support to the team. It also gave the girls a chance to see what other schools were doing. Trade’s cheerleaders were very much impressed with the band, cheerleaders and Majorettes of West Springfield High and Northampton High. They think that future Trade cheerleaders should attend out of town games to see what other schools are doing and to spur us on to do better things at Trade.

TRADE REVUE IS REMARKABLE EXCELLENT ACTING, BEAUTIFUL SCENERY BY STUDENTS A remarkable thing happened at Trade School last night, and it will happen again tonight when the second performance is given of the “Trade Revue of '45.”. The show was remark- able for several reasons. Not only did it provide excellent entertainment with a display of real talent among the cast of 175 boys and girls; not only was it a flawless production with skill and fine workmanship throughout. But perhaps most important of all was that “Trade Revue of ’45” offered such ample proof of the constructive type of thing that can be accomplished with and by young people when their energies and interests are guided to- ward wholesome recreation. That the youthful actors enjoyed be- ing on the stage was evident to every- one in the audience, but the real proof positive of their eagerness and efforts to make the show a success was given only to one who had the privilege of catching a few glimpses of behind-the- scenes actions. The scenery and costumes, all of which were made by Trade School students, added much to the effective- ness of the show. When viewed from the stage, it would be hard to be- lieve that many of the lovely outfits worn by dance groups and soloists were made from scraps of material. The tumblers’ costumes were con- , cocted out of flour sacks and decorated with remnants of colorful mate- rial— SPRINGFIELD UNION. m 1 )4))F oT i: I Trade Beaver MACHINE SHOP As usual the machine shop department with an aver- age of 120 boys throughout the year, has the largest department in Trade School. A gallup poll taken recently reveals that most of these boys cherish a burning ambition to become seventeen years of age and join the Navy. Undoubtedly the daily chores of cleaning machines and sweeping floors has im- bued them with a latent fondness for swabbing decks and polishing binmacles. Possibly this may constitute pre-induction training. In addition to this patriotic contribution, many of the boys have become rather skillful in machine tool operation as indicated by the great variety of jobs made in the machine shop this year, thus holding up the shop’s best tradition for developing skillful craftsmen. Paul Boudreau is working at a mill- ing machine. Eugene Gonyer is work- ing at a lathe. Fred Severyn is tempering steel.

Tearing themselves away from their drawing boards, Les Dion, Hal Donahue, and Joe Scamardella starred on the football team. When basketball rolled around Drafting was in there shooting. Leaving his trade behind him, Robert Bessette left to join the Navy. Among those leaving early are Robert A. Josefek and Russ Farrell who have employment at the Package Machinery in the engineering department. Unfortunately the great draftsman R. Rushby is graduating, but Trade School will not be let down. It has some newcomers who will outclass those who have left. Those who have taken the three year course under the expert instruction of Mr. Joseph B. Elvin have proved themselves a real credit to Trade School. Trade Beaver Left to right: Robert Josefek, Russell Farrell, and Roland Rushby are being taught drafting by Mr. Etfvin.

Trade Beaver PRINTING The printing department is set up to help young men to train in the fundamen- tal operation of the printing industry. The department is divided into two shops; the composing room and the press room. The composing room (left) is where the material is prepared for the presses. Type, cuts, and rules are assem- bled into forms and stored in racks until the boys on the presses are ready for them. When the boys have the presses oiled and inked they get the forms from the racks and bring them to the press room to be locked up, and made ready for the presses. After the forms are-put on the presses proofs are taken, final re- visions made and if everything is correct the presses start to roll. Upper Photo: Composing room.

RETAIL SELLING The one-year Retail Selling course offers opportunities for girls and boys inter- ested in store work. The students attend school training classes in the morning, and in the afternoon work in the cooperating stores. The subjects studied include: Salesmanship, store system, mathematics of retailing, economics of retailing, English, textiles, merchandise information, display, advertising, line-color design, occupa- tional adjustment, and project work. Many former students of this course now hold key positions in retailing such as: Buyer, department head, floor manager, assistant display manager, head of stock. Many others are earning excellent salaries as salespeople. It is hoped that some day several will own and operate their own stores.

Mr. Munson is the instructor ably assisted by Mr. Thomson. There are two groups of boys working here in their shop weeks. Mr. Munson is doing a great job improving and remodelling the classrooms of the old Trade School into new offices and conference rooms. A room was completed last year which now is the office of Mr. Klar. Last year the boys, under the expert guidance of Mr. Munson and Mr. Thomson started to remodel a part of the second floor into a spacious auditorium. This room will not be used just as an auditorium and con- ference room but will be the new location of the mimeograph room and will also serve as an enlargement of the audio visual aid room. The boys in this shop do all phrases of repairing, finishing and decorating work. In future years many of them will return and view with pride the rooms used by the school department.

Upon our arrival we discovered much to our surprise that the machines had been painted. The room which greeted our eyes was not the room we had left because near the close of last year the Pattern Shop had been moved. _ Within a few days the boys were roll- ing out patterns in assembly line fashion. The students are taught in this shop how to make patterns from blueprints as well as being taught how to run lathes, drills, and saws. The new students are taught by the experts how to use a glass hammer, how to hook a sky hook, and where to obtain a bucket of steam (with the proper requisition). With a larger shop the boys have been able to put out much more work in less time than formerly was necessary.

The one-year Scientific Laundry Course is designed to instruct its stu- dents in all the operations of a corn- mercial laundry, from the marking and identification of the linens to the pack- aging of the completed laundry. There are eighteen different posi- tions for which girls may be trained. This not only gives them a variety of work to choose from, but shows the necessity of a broad training in this field, from answering complaints and customers’ requests to the operation of laundry machines. Graduates of this course are in great demand and the placement department of Trade School is able to secure for them excellent positions in industry. Trade Beaver Miss Bianchi, instructor, interviews Robert Josefek while Phyllis Vezina fills out an application. GUIDANCE AND PLACEMENT While young people always need vocational guidance, their need is especially acute in wartime. Recognizing its responsibility for rendering service pertinent to the times, Trade School has developed a program of helping young people grow in vocational understanding by supplying help and information that will assist them to reach decisions resulting in the most efficient use of abilities. In training students for work and placement in specific occupations the school maintains a placement service alert to educational values, vocational trends, and proper job placement to fit individual needs and abilities. Through continuous contact with employers the school carries on an effective training program, placement follow-up, expanding trade and labor relations, all contributing to a better function- ing program of service to the pupil, the school, and the community as a whole.

Scraps of material from wool, cotton, or rayon coats, suits, or dresses, upholstery materials, odds and ends of ribbon, fur, leather and yarn are used. This year students have designed a very smart pocketbook using Mother's discarded oatmeal boxes and many other types of boxes from the pantry shelf. During the past year, the production of this department has been over 1,000 hats, 920 novelties and 545 pocketbooks. Mary Masisco is fitting a hat. Many outstanding projects have been made in the Power Stitching classes this year. Besides the many uniforms and smocks made for the girls in the school, hundreds of garments were stitched for the Junior Red Cross, window shades for the schools, cots for the nursery beds, overdraperies for a library nursery, cos- tumes for our ‘Trade Follies of 1945” and most interesting the overdraperies for the administrative office of the City of Spring- field.

William Fellows and Robert Outstanding work in the shop this year was the various kinds of lamps made which required much skill and steady work. The Sheet Metal class also has an honor roll with boys who have left school to fight for their country in all branches of the Armed Forces. The boys are as follows: Erwin Wef- ferling, U.S.N.; Bull McCullock, U.S.N.; Carlton Lamberton, U.S.N.; Richard Na- gelin, U.S.M.S.; Raymond Moore, U.S.M. S; Olleri are soldering buckets.

Trade Beaver Martha DiMichele, Dorothy Allen, Louise Damale, Bethany Morrow, Mildred Hogan, and Janice Malliox design dresses. COSTUME DESIGN With the scarcity of fabrics and the need for conservation in this wartime, an understanding of the art principles underlying costume design are more than ever essential. More American girls and women are design ing and remodelling clothes. One of the students in this department has an original design accepted for a Boston exhibit sponsored by Scholastic Magazine. DECORATIVE ART Nothing spectacular ever happens in the Decorative Art room, yet it is a room full of activity as evidenced by the many costumes and properties which were painted for Trade Revue of ’45. Fifty-eight pairs of gold or silver shoes, sixteen striking black jackets and twenty-one dazzling white and gold outfits and gilded batons emerged from beneath the skillful brushes of the art classes. Refinished trays, decorated chairs and chests, menus, table favors, artificial flow- ers, picture frames, decorated fabrics and cakes (edible) are miscellaneous products of this department. Many yards of material, hand-printed, adorn the windows of Dr. Burridge’s of- fice and the third floor teachers’ room. This artistic work is the product of this group.

A well typed letter always makes a good impression on the recipient. The per- son who can answer the telephone graciously and courteously sells himself and the institution which he represents. To keep.records systematically, to know how to file properly, all are assets to a business offic e. The Business Practice class of Trade School has always had the above aims, Hee the many girls who have succeeded on their jobs have proven the importance of these ideals. Trade Beaver Radio Shop The greatest change in the Radio Shop in the year 1944-45 was the en- trance of a new instructor. We are very fortunate to find as capable a teacher in these times when there is a shortage of instructors. We are very thankful to Mr. Rae for his expert in- struction. Veterans of World War II are be- ginning to return from the war. They realize the value of education and some have entered the Radio Shop courses. Manufacturers of radio tubes have donated several large tubes to Trade School. We are glad to have them as part of our equipment. Our shop room received a good old- fashioned overhauling by removing old benches and replacing them with new ones. Mr. Rae has been successful in replacing and obtaining new radio equipment. Tapp Mamm 2 c testing a T.R.F. The Radio Shop was outstanding in the prompt purchases of War Bonds and Stamps, usually being first to be- come 10 0% for each month.

During the 1944-45 season, the Ra- dio Shop entered its first team, which was very promising in shop basketball. The outstanding players were Renzo Belisle, Ted Kadzik, James Meadows, lid Sheperdson and Doug Smith arc Phillip Racino, Armonaud Caprito, and Salvatore Morrassi.

Students receive instruction in personal hygiene, prevention of disease, child care, care of common ailments and emergencies. They also have supervised practice in some of the simple nurs- ing procedures such as bathing a patient, bed making, tempera- ture taking, administration of medicines, simple treatments and improvised equipment. When the students complete the minimum requirements of the course, they are presented with a Red Cross Home Nursing Certificate. This training is of great value to the students as it teaches them how to care for the sick in the home. FIRST AID The standard Red Cross First Aid course is also given by this department. Students are taught what the responsibilities of the first aider are and what they should do in cases of emer- gency, such as hemorrhage, fractures, poisoning, care of wounds, shock, heat exhaustion, asphix- iation and bandaging. This course also entitles the students to the Red Cross First Aid Certificate when require- ments are completed. Trade Beaver TRADE ARTISTS RENDER SERVICES TO RED CROSS During the Red Cross campaign three boys of Trade School were called upon to stencil Red Cross emblems upon the win- dows of the leading stores in the down- town area of the city. These three boys were Robert Monte, Robert Fontaine, and Robert Edwards, of Commercial Art. This work was under the supervision of Miss Erickson, instructor of Commercial Art. The boys had to learn how to apply these stencils. This was taught to them by Marcus Sign Co., who cooperated even further by furnishing the paint and brush- es. The time was spent voluntarily by the boys applying the stencils to the win- dows. The boys’ work was appreciated as much by the merchants as by the Red Cross and passersby. The work of these boys and their co-workers should be and most likely was an inspiration to other Junior Red Cross members. The good work done by these boys and their leaders is a credit to the Commer- cial Art Department of Springfield Trade School. Robert Monte stencils a Red Cross sign on a store window.

You find girls working on many types of gar- ments in all stages of development. The first-year girls work on children’s clothing. The second-year girls make dresses and dress al- terations. Third-year girls work on suits and coats. These girls acquire a fine working knowledge of cutting, fitting, re-modeling, and making.

To pass the State Board examination for hairdressing successfully, girls must be thoroughly trained in these related subjects. State Board examinations are required when a girl completes her course in order to get a license to practice Beauty Culture. At present all girls are intent on preparation for these examina- tions which are frequently held at Trade School in Springfield. The Beauty Culture Course was honored this year by having one of its students selected to be a member of the Young People’s Symphony Orchestra.

BEAUTY CULTURE Trade Beaver WELDING The Welding Shop is always a beehive of activity where the boys learn Electric Arc and Oxy-Acetylene welding and cutting. They work on many different jobs and types of metal. When Classical High School needed soap trays for the shower rooms, our weld- ing boys made them and were highly complimented on the job. Fences and guards were made and installed around school landscaping. A bet- ter idea of the varied types of work repaired or built is contained in the following jist: Gas tanks, curtain brackets, bedstead brackets, flag standards, gold rings, bronze candle sticks, auto radiators, religious frames, gun barrel, bicycle frames, motor scooter, door locks, basketball hoop, lamp shade frame, furnace pokers, egg beaters, coal grates, aluminum pots and pans, snow plows, desks and chairs, piano stools, women’s broaches, doctor’s sterilizer, machine guards, auto fenders, utility traifer. These items all have different metallurgical characteristics and require different approaches, heat values, heat treatments, and the use of special filler alloys. { Se Left, Marcel Plassie and Vin- cent Broz welding on two wheel trailer.

Veterans of World War II have begun to return from the war and some of them have already entered the Electric Shop courses. In keeping up with modern times, we have made a swing toward the Elec- tronic field. The electronic field will be vast and of great importance and the students in this shop may be able to enter into electronics after gradua- tion. We have, through the gracious do- nations of manufacturers of electronic tubes, received several large tubes of this type. Our shop room received a good overhauling as did the Radio Shop. The old benches were removed and new benches replaced them. We were outstanding in our War Bond and Stamp purchases. A good many of the Electric Shop students participated on the stage and backstage in our “Trade Review.” We have also taken care of lighting ef- fects for the dances. The novelty light- ing was excellent and offered a modern touch.

We hope that all the girls that come into our group, go out with a better working knowledge of why we-eat and what we eat. We do not consider ourselves an agency but after all, what department could better pre- pare a girl to keep up the slogan, “The Way to a Man’s Heart.” Theresa Gendion, Katheryne Thompson, Jennie Kowalczyk are serving the food for the tea- We sincerely hope that “the proof of the pudding is the eating,” and room. we are sure that every girl who graduates certainly can make a pud- ding. Helen Stupak and Angela Loglisci are preparing food. Trade Beaver AIRPLANE SHOP September was the beginning of the big year for the boys in the Airplane Department. Each boy came prepared for a year of hard work and study. Upon arriving at school we found a new teacher behind the desk, Mr. James K. Perry, who at one time taught Acronautics in the W.A.M.S. program. (Women’s Auxiliary Maintenance Service.) The boys set out to make good. Within no time one of the groups had learned to overhaul, check and completely reassemble an engine while the other groups had learned the art of dope and fabric cov- ering of aircraft. Several engines in the Airplane Shop are in run- ning condition. These are the Jacobs, Warner and two five cylinder kinners. The Cessna, a monoplane in the shop, was paint- ed green and black with a silver streak along the side of the fuselage. Boys learn about engines by doing individual jobs. Some of them bring in small model motors to repair. Students have a fine opportunity to learn in the Aviation Department. They have everything to their advantage, in fact there is about seventy-five thousan4-dollars worth of equipment for them to use. There is a very good supply of books and man- uals, along with about twelve engines, that are used chiefly for research. The boys work very hard (es- pecially one boy who is forever working on his Motor Scooter) but Mr. Perry just smiles and comes out with his favorite saying, “Give me strength,” but the boys expect this. This department is keeping abreast with the ad- vances being made in Aeronautics and enabiing the youth of our communities to receive training as mechanics and as pilots. We have our “Dilberts,’ but in spite of this handicap we all hope to make our mark in an industry which is in scientific swaddling clothes. Casings, gasgets, bolts, and nuts must be care- fully reassembled after a motor has been taken Wires, pressure lines, and controls are connected to instruments as a large motor is mounted on the testing stand to be run in and tuned up. Trade Beaver i NAVY PERSONNEL FROM SPRINGFIELD HOSPITAL Many Sailors and Marines from Springfield Hospital attended various shops and classes at Trade School during this year. SAFETY COUNCIL AWARDS CERTIFICATES ‘The Springfield Safety Council awarded safety certificates to Mr. Moran, welding instructor, and Mr. Thomas, machine instructor, for their work in helping to extinguish the bad fire in the Auto shop. These certificates were presented in an assembly by Dr. Burridge. Trade Beaver In the wood shop of the General Dept. many articles of black walnut such as wall racks, corner shelves and magazine racks have been made. In addition to these articles, several projects for the Red Cross were made. These were portable book racks, smoking stands, cribbage boards and boards on which were mounted telegraph sets. The Red Cross planned to use these for the pleasure and instruction of the returned hospitalized war veterans. Work was also done by the boys on some of the props used in the school play.

It requires a study of the materials used, various methods of preparation, and practice in the mani- pulative skills. The greater part of the work done in this shop is for our own school cafe- teria and the school lunch department. When time permits special orders are taken for faculty, students and organizations. It is not unusual to have a day’s production in the Bakery Department read as follows:— 95 doz. Cream Puff Shells 20 loaves of bread 25 doz. Rolls 4 doz. Muffins 12 qts. Chocolate Pud- ding 12 doz.

WAR PRODUCTION TRAINING The War Production Training Program was started in June, 1940. The pur- pose of this program was to train workers, both men and women, for work in plants connected directly with the war effort. Large numbers of enlisted men were also trained in this program for four branches of the U. S. Army. Under this program numerous trainees are still receiving training at the school and also in the defense plants of this area under Trade School teachers. Trainees from the Am- erican Bosch Corporation receiving. machine shop training under Trade’s War Production Training Program, Trade Beaver CONTINUATION The boys in the above group are a few of the some 150 who attend Continuation School one half day each week and are employed in Springfield. This schooling is required by a Massachusetts law passed in 1918. If for any reason a Continuation pupil loses his position he must attend school every day for one-half day until he finds another position. At the end of two weeks, however, if employment is not secured he returns to the school last attended. The school during this two-week period tries to place him in another job. Many have been placed during the past year. Our follow up visits both to the employer and the home have been in many in- stances very interesting and beneficial. The school also gains untold knowledge about perplexing problems that confront it. Continuation School is not a regular Trade School credit course. Pupils attend- ing this school may, however, transfer into Trade School upon application and con- tinuation instructor’s recommendation. | | | | : | ' ; That carefree song of youth ... Where do we go from here, boys? ... sooner or later becomes a serious and searching question with every young man bent upon success QO, COURSE YOU ARE AMBI- TIOUS to succeed. But what are your plans for the years stretched out ahead? The field is wide and the oppor- tunities seem almost limitless. Yet competition is keen, for the upper brackets of success, no matter what business or profession you may choose..... and your best thought and ettort must be given, if you are to achieve the fine aspirations of your youth. Wherever your ambitions may lead you, you will need the self-con- fidence that financial security will bring. You will need savings, safely invested; and you will need to look tar down the road—for many of your problems can be solved only if you solve them before they arise. Thousands of men, facing these same money problems of life, have found their answer in the Massa- chusetts Mutual plan—saving first, then spending what is left. Through this plan they have met their needs in the surest and most convenient way. They have avoided the tragic results of spending first, then trying to save. The SOONER you plan your future, the BETTER your future will be. we LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Springfield, Massachusetts (The Best....
