Trade High School Vocational Education in Massachusetts is a cooperative venture between the local School Committee and the State Department of Vocational Education. This cooperation between city and state results in a mutual sharing of expense, approval of the teaching staff and general school supervision. The State and Federal Government share in meeting the cost of operating Trade High School by annually returning fifty percent of the expenses to the city. Teachers are subject to both local School Committee and state requirements. A staff of state supervisors regularly visits the school to aid in problems of administration and to see that state regulations governing vocational schools are followed. Trade High School is not a public school, in that the kind of education which it offers differs in aim and character from the general education provided in public schools. It is also a private school for the reason that no one may be compelled to attend Trade High School. The purpose of Trade High School is to help students find their place in society by becoming useful citizens and to secure profitable employment by learning a trade. Students will be considered for admission who are fifteen years of age and have completed at least the eighth grade. In order to remain in school, a student must consistently demonstrate his desire and ability to profit from the instruction. A high school diploma in a specific trade is granted to those students who have successfully completed a Junior High School course and three years at Trade. If a student transfers from another high school to Trade after having partially completed his high school course, he may be granted a high school diploma, but not in a specific trade unless his required shop work in his trade is successfully completed. A Trade School diploma is given to those students who have successfully completed three years at Trade High School but have not completed Junior High School. A Trade School diploma is also given to students who show proficiency in a trade but are unable to meet academic requirements. Anyone admitted to Trade High School successfully completing a specified course of study will receive a Trade School Certificate. The graduation policy of our school has been formed to meet the greatly varying needs and abilities of students who desire vocational training. Candidates for a high school diploma must demonstrate their ability to perform academic work consistent with high school standards. Foods and Catering This department contains one of the most attractive rooms in the school, the tea room. On Wednesday and Thursday of each week, forty guests are served an excellent luncheon, planned, prepared and served by the students under the direction of Miss Doris Gilson. Every phase of the work, from planning and preparing the menus through the serving and cleaning up is carried out by the boys and girls in this course. On Friday the menu for the coming week is planned by the class. Current market prices are carefully scrutinized to determine how to plan the best meal most economically. Mon- day and Thursday finds the second and third year students testing recipes and otherwise preparing for the next two days. The responsibility for arranging the flowers, planning seasonal decorations and making the attractive menu covers, is that of Mrs. Louise Johnson with the students of the first year Class. It is also during the first year that the art of waiting on guests courteously and efficient- ly is learned by the girls, while the boys learn the duties of a bus boy. Advanced students prepare the food, each working at various stations so that experience may be gained in the preparation of all kinds of food. Students readily see the need for cleanliness about their work, a neat personal appearance, efficiency in managing their various duties and a courteous attitude toward people. Miss Doris Gilson Mrs. Louise Johnson Shop Instructor Related Art Instructor The tea room is frequently used by various school groups, the Inter-school Student Coun- cil holds its annual meeting here, and Special Class teachers find the tea room a convenient place to gather for meetings. Instructors also use the tea room as an opportunity to teach their students some of the social graces. Graduates of this department are employed in the cafeterias of industries, bank, insurance companies, hospitals and department stores. Barbara Jean Chestnut Harold DeSellier j .

Here they usually pause to admire and purchase the tempting coffee rings or Miss Eleanor Carlisle Shop Instructor the delicious bread. Miss Eleanor Carlisle instructs the boys and girls in every phase of commercial baking. Practical experience is gained by providing muffins and desserts for the cafeteria. Cookies for veterans are made for the Red Cross and charitable organiza- tions request pastry of various kinds in quan- tity, all of which helps to provide the variety of experiences necessary to these young bakers. Cake decorating is an important part of a this course, since most commercial bakeries CS need employees who are skilled in handling Pauline Alderson Mary L. Brisley a pastry bag. Cakes for special occasions are carefully decorated and when a wedding cake is being iced everyone stops to watch and offer suggestions. Employment in this trade is readily found and there is a variety of jobs to suit abilities and preferences. Girls sometimes start by packing and glazing bakery products and progress to more complex jobs. Boys are generally employed to take care of ovens or work on mixing machines. Opportunities for ; progress are frequent and former students Robert Brunelle Lorraine Dubuque have become mixers or bakery managers. William Gingras and Douglas Carr learn production methods essential to commercial baking. ———= Tea Room guests stop in the bakery to purchase bread from Helen Jesseman and Vera Ptaszkiewicz. Adeline Scagliarini a Voeational Homemaking The art of learning to create a home is too often a neglected part of a girl’s educa- tion. Yet, nearly every girl becomes a home- maker at some time during her life. The girl who selects this department is never Miss F. Elisabeth Harvey faced with the problem of learning to keep Shop Instructor house after she is married because her shop work consists of learning to care for a model three room apartment. On Tuesdays, a luncheon is planned, prepared and served by the girls to guests of their selection. They may invite instructors, visitors to the school or often their own parents. Learning to dress well and economically is a problem for most girls today, but these young homemakers are learning to overcome Catherine Healey the high cost of clothing by making their own. Fabrics are studied so that a girl may purchase material which is suitable to her needs. Style and c olor problems are worked out, and each girl learns how to look her best. The holiday season is also cookie season, and many varieties of cakes and cookies are made and decorated. Barbara Mascolo Under the guidance of Miss Elisabeth Harvey these students learn that keeping house is the means of making a home and this can be the source of great pleasure and satisfaction. Gemma Paine Lorraine Royce Packaging the Christmas cakes which they have made is fun for Barbara Langevin, Althira Jacobs and Lorraine Barris. Harriet Whitaker, Joyce Bond and Sandra Meyrick decorate cookies for Christmas. Ruth Sternberg Scientific Laundry Trade High School is one of few, if not the only vocational school offering a practical course in laundry work. Far from being a limited field, there are eighteen different jobs open to the boy or girl with training in this trade. There is work to suit every interest and ability, from adjusting customer com- plaints to the operation of laundry machines, mending, packaging, identification of fabrics, marking and stain removal. Many of these positions are well paid and responsible, open to trained operators. Miss Margaret Carew The Massachusetts Laundry Owners Shop Instructor Association has endorsed this course and some of the members of the association are often called on to give advice on new methods and procedures so that the instruction may be practical and up to date. Practical experience is gained by the laundering of all school equipment such as towels, uniforms and other department linens. Aside from affording necessary trade experi- ence this service results in a large saving of money for the school. Opportunities for advancement are great sa ase ee in the laundry industry and the boy or girl with initiative and training in this work is certain of a permanent, well paid position. Agnes Catalano and Gloria Williams learn that correct pressing is the key to good laundry work. ———— ae Evelyn Murdock, and Carol Canter learn to block a sweater, with Mrs. Klingsporn’s assistance. Beauty Culture A girl who belongs to this department is readily recognizable by her consistently neat and well-groomed appearance. Strict control by state law governs the eighteen hundred hours a girl must spend in learning her trade. Much of this time is spent in learning, the techniques of permanent waving, shampooing and setting a wave, manicuring, giving scalp treatments and hair dyeing. Other require- ments include physiology, bacteriology, hy- giene and sanitation. Color and design related to hair styling, and shapes of faces are also important to a future beautician. Math and typing are necessary in order to be able to perform clerical work needed in the successful operation of a beauty shop. English and state law are also required of every graduate. On completion of the required time, and passing the state board exams, a girl is eligible to be employed as an operator. After six months’ employment in this capacity, she may then take the final state board exam- ination. Qualification as a hairdresser results from successfully completing this exam- ination. Employment is readily found and many students continue on to own their own business.

Making a wood pat- tern is the first step in producing a metal casting. This pattern is used to make a sand- mold, and into this mold molten metal is poured. The resulting casting is then mach- ined to removed scale and is turned to precise dimensions. This is a most interesting occupation requir- ing the work of a skilled and intelligent craftsman. High wages and numerous posi- tions make this a profitable trade to enter. As in all departments of this school, the work performed often results in a large saving for the taxpayer. Patterns for castings which will result in machines for other schools, are made here. Model making is an interesting variation of this trade. Models of schools, church and playgrounds, as well as homes, are frequently made by these boys. Here again, fine crafts- manship is necessary to make the very small parts of buildings fit together neatly. A model of the radio station to be constructed at Trade High is nearing completion, and those models of schools exhibited at the Eastern States Exposition were made by the young men taking this course. Any boy who selects pattern making as a trade is assured an interesting and profitable means of earning a living. Henry Lemieux puts the finishing touches on a pattern of a compressor head for a freezer unit. —— = _ Mr. Alfred Magee Shop Instructor as” re, ee iy go ie aie a ee of the school radio station is being made by Richard Kelly and wall riffin.

Stevens iti @ wir: ee ee ee —_ coal coal Fad Sati geeee? err + + sa a % Cabinet Making The largest of the woodworking departments here at Trade High, is the Cabinet Making Department. The work performed by these boys is in constant demand both by the school and charitable organizations. Many disabled veterans are using articles made here 1 and distributed by the Red Cross. These | include hospital furnishings such as bedside tables, tilt top bed trays, small chests and lamps. Morse keyboard sets and games of var- i ous types have aided in rehabilitation work. Articles for the school department are numerous. All cabinet work for the building such as storage shelves and cabinets are designed and made here. Many fine pieces of furniture are made by advanced students. Drafting, furniture design and a study of various woods are as necessary as learning the actual construc- tion methods. Wood finishing, under Mr. Carl Johnson is also an important phase of this work. All students spend one-half of the school year learning to apply various finishes, as well as scraping down and refinishing fine old pieces. Mr. Harold Sherwood is the shop instructor James Leone and Francis Smith are working industriously on this house model which and Mr. Thomas King supervises the related will be shown at the Eastern States Exposition. work.

Eckert Attilio Isotti, Jr. William Koretz Frank A. Silva Robert Ventrice w ting eae i iu iti ie as — eee ae . : — | Drafting The training of young men to be employed as junior draftsmen is the primary objective of this course. In completing three years of intensive study a boy progresses from the basic fundamentals of drawing through as- sembly and detail drawings. Drawings for repair parts performed in other departments of the school originate here, and this department is often called upon to assist in work for the school department. All students are required to keep a com- prehensive notebook of math and science as well as other information useful to draftsmen. Students spend a portion of their last year in the machine and pattern departments in order to gain actual experience in the operation of both metal and wood working machines. Success in industry is not uncommon among graduates of this course. Many have con- tinued on to become heads of departments, designers and supervisors. The employment possibilities far exceed the number of students available for placement. William O'Connor learns to use a drafting machine. These boys are taking preliminary measurements and notations before making the drawing for- a mew (piece. Mr. Joseph B. Elvin Shop Instructor Francis P. Coughlin Richard E. Johnson Wayne LaBonte William O’Connor Machine It is a well known fact that machine shop work is the basis of all industry today. From this fundamental trade an intelligent young man is unlimited in his scope of employment. In this department, boys learn to operate the usual machine tools, such as the lathe, mill- ing machine, drill press, shaper and grinder. Along with the knowledge of machine opera- tion and the method of fabrication from metals, comes the most important part of Mr. Walter Kehoe Mr. Francis Knapton a machinist’s education: the development of Shop Instructor Shop Instructor the ability to think a job through. Shop safety rules are constantly stressed since the machines are a potential source of great danger to the careless and indifferent worker. A good background in math, science and drawing are necessary, as well as the ability to use precision measuring devices. High standards of finished work are maintained, since anything short of perfection is not ac- ceptable in industry and employment is the aim of these students.

Ferraro Henry Gelgut Gino Lazzari Michael Obrzut, Jr. eA Pek Alfred Mackey Robert Martin William Sorel Mr. Thomas instructs Titus Barklow in correct grinding procedures. Sheet Metal Our ancestors recognized the sheet metal worker as the man who made the first tin ware. Some of the first articles fashioned by the early tinsmith were kitchen utensils. Gradually, with improved working methods the possibilities latent in this material came to be realized until today nearly every type of industry relies on sheet metal workers. This course teaches boys to form three dimen- sional articles starting from a flat piece of metal. Since the first step in the forming of an object is to lay out a pattern correctly, the necessary specialized math and drawing are required of each student along with science and academic subjects. Upon completion of his course, a boy may find employment in many fields of work, with construction and roofing companies, plumbing and heating contractors or in man- ufacturing plants, nearly all of which employ men in this field of work. This radiator grille is being made by Paul Korzek and John Dembek. Mr. Mario Pellegrini Frank Ochenkowski solders a tray which he has finished making. = Shop Instructor Robert Bacon Richard Bousquet Robert Bouyea Anthony Orlando Eugene Provost Norman Rivest Welding Welding is a field of work upon which all metal trades are dependent, because it is the means by which all metal joints are fastened together. Four types of welding are studied: oxyacetylene, metallic electric arc, resistance and heli-arc welding. Elementary metallurgy is required since the welder must be able to identify metals correctly and have a know- ledge of stresses and strains, elongation, expansion and contraction, tensile strength and shear points. The boys learn by welding and_ brazing certain practice joints in both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This provides the neces- Mr. Donald J. Moran sary experience in the selection of filler Shop Instructor materials and application. Ornamental iron work has become an increasingly important phase of this work and senior students are given jobs of this type. A wide variety of articles are made; they may vary from wrought iron porch furniture to ornamental signs, or porch rail- ings to hardware and lamps for outdoor use. yy James Barber Francis Belanger vt John Fernandes Donald Demers is hard at work in the welder’s booth. The last touches to this wrought iron table are applied by Donald Gifford. Ce ee oe Auto Body The position of the auto body repair man is becoming an increasingly important one in this day of mounting automobile accidents. These young men learn to repair cars so that no trace of dents remains. After repairing the damaged parts, the cars must be repainted. This requires a knowledge of paints, spray equipment, color mixing and matching. Mr. Ernest Boucher Repairs on rtible tops are often made, as SL PECL ay pairs on converti p ; well as replacing broken windows. An expert auto body repair man needs to have the knowledge of several trades at his command. Welding is the means by which auto parts are rejoined. Sheet metal work is essential since cars are made from metal in sheet form, and the ability to use machine tools is of great importance to any auto worker. Each boy must also learn to operate such power equipment as the pneumatic hammer, hydraulic jack, air sander and air gun. John L. DelPozzo Charles H. Jutras After intensive training by Mr. Ernest Boucher in the shop and Mr. Herman Dryer in the related classroom, these boys experience AUTO MECHANICS SENIORS little difficulty in obtaining employment. John H. Carney Edward J. Cislak Mr. Boucher explains a special procedure to Burt Buffington. Peter D’Amario Caleb DeBow Manuel Ferriera expects that this fender will look like new when he finishes his work. Spe + 4 4 Auto Mechanics This is one of the largest departments in Trade High School and with good reason, for this is a fascinating trade for any boy with mechanical interests and ability. This well-equipped department is under the lead- ership of Mr. James Perry, Mr. James Brown and Mr. Samuel Tarnauskas with Mr. Henry Dobles teaching the related math, science and drawing. Mr. James Perry Mr. Samuel Tarnauskas Shop Instructor Shop Instructor The work progresses during the first year from such basic fundamentals of how and why an automobile functions, to transmissions, both standard and automatic, the clutch, brakes and steering apparatus. The second year boys are ready for all types of work on the engine itself, and finally the third year students solve mechanical troubles and learn about the electrical system. Mr. James Brown Mr. Henry Dobles The use of all equipment must be mastered. Shop Instructor Related Instructor This includes the electric tune-up machine, synchrograph, generator and starter tester, wheel alignment device as well as many other pieces of modern equipment found in all up- to-date garages. Cars that are brought in for repair are assigned to students and upon completion of the work a test run is made with an instruc- tor as a check on the student’s work. The placement record for this department is an excellent one. Many good positions are available to boys who complete this course. John Finn Walter Jacobs Franklin R. St. Jean William Manzi Albert W. Nascembeni William R. Olson Real Rondeau Pasquale Rondinelli Donald E. Russell Lawrence L. Telmosse Robert A. Turcotte Salvator Vatrano Automotive Diesel Department One of the newest courses to be instituted at Trade High School is this course in the study of Diesel engines. The purpose of this program is to train young men in the various combustion systems, the care and testing of fuel injectors and nozzles or spray valves. The expanding use of Diesel engines and the increasing use of Diesel power are the reasons for starting this department. Three courses of study are open to students desiring this training. The first is taken in connection with the Automobile course. A boy spends one year in Automotive Diesel, one and one-half years in Automobile, and one-half year in the Machine Shop. This Mr. Frank C. Vyska prepares him to work on trucks, busses, Shop Instructor stationary engines, tractors, farm and con- struction equipment. The second course leading to employment with railroads and industries, consists of one year of Diesel and two years of Machine Shop. The third pos- sibility is for boys who are interested in Diesel drafting. This course requires that two years be spent in Drafting and one-half year each in Diesel and the Machine Shop. Mr. Vyska explains the assembling of impulse type fuel pump to Francis Korob, Joseph Smola, Douglas Roncarati. The intricate process of disassembling a fuel pump for service is explained by Mr. Vyska. iS Dental Assistants In this well-equipped dental clinic, high school graduates receive one year of intensive training that will lead to their eventual em- ployment as an assistant in a dentist’s office. Trade High School was one of the first schools in this area to offer such a course, which came about at the request of local dentists. The clinic is staffed by Dr. Gerald Ste. Marie and Mrs. Isabell Kendrick, who is a dental hygienist. Each morning those students in Dr. Gerald Ste. Marie need of dental care who do not have a reg- ular dentist are looked after by Dr. Ste. Marie. This provides the same working situations that will be met by the girls in actual practice. In the labratory, students learn the tech- niques of making plaster molds, model teeth and making and repairing dentures. The reception room and office provide the train- ing for the reception of patients, keeping records and the general office work. An X-ray machine is part of the equipment Mrs. Isabell Kendrick in daily use and a dark room provides the Dental Hygienist necessary facilities for developing the X-rays. A well rounded program is in effect offering work in typewriting, first aid, child psychol- ogy, nutrition, English and science. ike Grace Dineen : i Marguerita Alaxoff Priscilla Belcher Katherine Brown Jacqueline Chapman Rita Peris Lillian E. Sayles Maureen Sullivan Nellie Sullivan Muriel N. Wood Marguerite Alaxhoff learns to read her own x-rays under Dr. Ste. Marie’s guidance Medieal Assistants A second one year course open to high school graduates is that of medical assisting. Again, at the request of local physicians this course was established to fill a need similar to that filled by the dental assistants. This department is the responsibility of Mrs. Ingeborg Drewry, who is a registered nurse. It is under Mrs. Drewry’s direction that training is given to teach girls to assist with the medical services in a doctor’s office and care of the office routine. Mrs. Ingeborg Drewry, R.N. i ; 4 : Shop Instructor Students receive instruction in anatomy, physiology, nursing techniques in the doctor’s office, examining room duties, first aid, and reception room procedure. Also required are English, psychology, shorthand and _secre- tarial services. Extra curricular activities are open to all interested students and many find enjoyment in taking part in the glee club or Tade- scapades. Miss Claire O'Neil Typing Instructor i.

Johnstone Marilyn Keating Catherine E. Romaniak Katherine Stebbins Vivian Silvestri } ges Nursing Attendants A much needed service is performed by graduates of this course. Training is given by physicians and nurses in the care of sub-acute, convalescent and chronic patients, for employment either in hospitals, private homes, or homes for the aged, chronic or convalescent patients. Given in cooperation with the hospitals in Springfield, twelve months of instruction and supervised clinical experience is given in addition to the preliminary twelve weeks of instruction at Trade High School. Trade High School grants a certificate to those satisfactorily completing this course. The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing then gives an examination to the student Attendant Nurse. If this examination is satisfactorily completed, a license is issued. Employment may then be obtained from hospitals, private institu- tions and agencies and visiting nurse services. Miss Gracey supervises the learning of these student nursing attendants. Helping an invalid into a wheel chair is one of the many procedures learned in this course for Nursing Attendants. 3 ¢ i Commercial Art One of the most satisfying professions to the boy or girl with some drawing ability is found in the field of art. The purpose of this department is to train students ade- quately so that they may be able to earn a successful living in art. Aside from talent, Mr. Thurston Munson Miss Jeannette Fontaine and of equal importance is a good academic Shop and Related Instructor Shop and Related Instructor record, a pleasing personality, imagination and ingenuity. A student must have a broad background of general knowledge, so that creative ability may be developed. Practical experience and the development of high standards of work are achieved in the performance of shop jobs. Much work is done for the school, signs for every purpose and posters for every occasion are made here. Santa’s reindeer, which decorated the front lawn at Christmas time were designed and painted in this department. Tradescapades William E. Carr Stuart Kimball scenery, the design for the program cover, are a few of the many pieces of work turned out by these boys. Lettering is the most important aspect of this course. In addition, such techniques as pen and ink, pencil, water color and tempera painting are studied. Perspective, design, anatomical drawing and history of art are also required. Employment is found with printing firms, in industries or department stores. ; Orin May Kenneth Mills Richard L. Sanborn Learning to letter is one of the most important phases of work of this department. Here are two prospective artists, Donald Pothul and Kenneth Mills. — — Printing Trade High has many fascinating trades for a boy or girl to choose from, but one which never fails to interest everyone is the art of printing. On entering this department a boy begins in the composing room and learns all types of make-up, from ruled forms for both book and catalog pages and newspaper style. The school newspaper and vocational association news provides practical experience in this kind of work. Operation of the Ludlow and linotype machines must be mastered, but hand composition is learned before the more complex machines may be used. Mat Bank® Or Bien Shop Instructor Advancing to the pressroom, the boys learn the operation of a simple footpress, and progress through a hand feed job press to automatic job presses and the Miehle Vertical Press. Finally, the seniors learn cylinder press work and feeding. Again, we find a great saving to the city since much of the school department print- ing is done here. Mr. Jullian Mazzarella Mr. George Mack Shop Instructor Related Instructor An excellent placement record is maintained by this department and numerous graduates have continued on to responsible, well paid positions in this field.

Radio and Television Under the direction of Mr. James Rae and Mr. Melvin Kinsman, the Radio Department at Trade High School is well organized and efficiently managed. The primary aim of this course is to train students in the servicing of radios, and to prepare them as radio technicians, labratory p 5 Mr. Jesse Richardson Mr. James Rae workers or for entrance into the post high Television Shop Instructor Radio Shop Instructor school Radio and Television Technicians Course. There are two phases of the work, radio theory, math and science, and the shop work which provides practical experience in repair- ing and rebuilding radio equipment. First year work consists of elementary radio theory and electronics. The second year student continues his work in radio theory and begins servicing sets as a junior radio technician, and the third year student con- Mr. Frank Giddings Mr. Melvin Kinsman tinues in the same kind of work on a more Television Related Instructor Radio Related Instructor advanced level. It is also the responsibility of this depart- ment to look after the sound system used in Tradescapades and provide the recorded sound effects used in the show. Students completing this course are qualified to work as radio technicians and handle the installation maintenance and servicing of AM and FM radio and sound systems. The Television Division is a post high school course offered to those graduates of the radio course who desire further training, or those high school graduates with previous experi- ence in radio or electronics. Mrs. Jesse Rich- ardson and Mr. Frank Giddings supervise the Television Department This course is designed to train technical workers, engineering aids or television service representatives. Alfred J. Laroche Wendell S. Mitchell Also under Mr. Richardson’s direction is the supervision of the construction of the new radio station being erected at Trade High School. The basic equipment has been donated by Westinghouse Manufacturing Company, and the Western Massachusetts Electric Company, has given the eighty foot tower for the roof, which will be erected in the center of the rear wing. Station WACE has cooperated in the planning and design of the broadcasting station. Richard A. Moncreiff Alfred B. Randall Futher opportunities for training will be available on the completion of the radio station. This will take the form of another post high school course designed to train broadcasting engineers and operators. John A. Reilly Thomas Bennett and John LaBranche are adjusting the recording machine before they go out to make a record of the Municipal Clock Chimes for “Tradescapades”, —=— 1 This transmitter, donated by a local manufacturer, will be used in the radio station.

Harry Protzenko and Warren Clark make adjustments in the maze of wires of a television set. — aAY OF A SYEVANIA AIMS imate tame Wet ee How radio tubes function is the subject that Mr. Kinsman is discussing with this class. Electrical Department Practical experience in house wiring is a simple matter for these future electricians, because the entire framework of a house has been constructed for training purposes. This model “house” affords the opportunity for boys to be trained also, in the use of armored cable, flexible and rigid conduits and metal moldings. The boys are fascinated by the General Electric remote control device that automatically closes windows and starts the breakfast without the need of getting out of bed in the morning ! Mr. Ernest Hesse Related Instructor By the time a student has completed his three years in the electrical department, he has progressed from simple appliance repair, and stripping, repairing, installing and servicing motors through .general trouble shooting During the second year, machine shop work is required. Coil making and wiring is also learned. EE Mr. Clayton Bliss Mr. John D’Arcy Mr. Ernest Hesse is the instructor of related Shop Instructor Shop Instructor work. This consists of work on photo-electric cells, rectifiers, amplifiers, timing circuits and vacuum tubes. Mr. Clayton Bliss and Mr. John D’Arcy are the shop instructors.

All the latest short cut methods used by clothing manufacturers are taught by Miss Louise Mazzuchelli. Miss Louise Mazzuchelli Eight machines commonly used by industry Shop Instructor are available for the girls to learn to operate. Students must learn to produce garments accurately with the greatest amount of speed. For these reasons a girl must have the capac- ity for turning out precision work and have a good eye for accuracy. Speed and accu- racy are required by industry from garment workers. This department too, contributes to the suc- cess of Tradescapades by turning out most of the costumes. This year, additional expe- rience in making theatrical costumes was gained by the production of forty-five cos- tumes for a presentation by the Shriners. School shower curtains, uniforms and win- dow shades made by these girls help the school department to save money. The Red Cross also uses many articles in Veteran’s hospitals. Vera Newble Rebecca Nunnally Economy in time and motion is practiced by these future garment workers. Cleo Self Making costumes for the Shriners is interesting work and valuable experience. —y� Dressmaking Clothing construction and alteration, with the emphasis on hand sewing forms the major portion of the shop work of the dressmaking course. Some work in power machine stitch- ing is given so that girls may become familiar with production methods and machines. Related work consists of instruction in color and design so that the students may learn to select clothing suitable to their figure type and coloring. Much time is also devoted to the study of fabrics so that these future dress- makers may be able to identify all kinds of fabrics and select them for quality and suita- bility. English, math, social studies, history and physical education are all required for graduation from this three year course. Using material provided by the Red Cross, again, dresses have been made for the chil- dren at the Monson State Hospital. These dresses cover all sizes from size eight to four- teen and also vary in style and fabric. This is another example of how cooperation with a public agency provides needed articles for charitable purposes and excellent experience for the students.

Cloutier Marjorie Roberge Jean Yamin Cooperative Retail Selling There are many interesting and profitable positions in the field of retailing open to the student with a pleasing personality and a genuine liking for people. The Cooperative Retail Selling course at Trade High School requires a supervised work program. This consists of fifteen hours spent in the classroom and a minimum of fifteen hours in an approved store. Miss Ruth Page, the instructor, and store personnel combine their efforts for the supervision of the store work. Miss Ruth Page Shop Instructor In the classroom, the student-worker learns the principles of salesmanship and such aspects of store administration as, trends in retail operation, sales promotion through fashion and display, and how to secure and use merchandise information. In order to develop a sense of good taste, principles of color, line and design are discussed. A store window facing the corridor is part of the equipment of this department. Many interesting displays are arranged by the students with the cooperation of local merchants who not only lend merchandise but also send display personnel to advise and assist in the setting up of the display. John DeNardo Alexander Young Miss Page helps William Sutton to arrange this model for the window display. SS The class holds a discussion about displaying the merchandise which has been loaned by a store for use in the school display window. Here is a Valentine window, designed and executed by the students of this department. Co-operative The aim of the cooperative course is to place boys in their trade during their senior year, so that they may become adjusted to in- dustrial methods. A boy who is working under this program attends school during his class week so that his academic require- ments may be fulfilled, and he works during his shop, or alternate weeks. This program helps acclimate a boy to his job and brings about a better understanding between the employer, student and school. Under the direction of Mr. Michael Gonzales a close check is kept on the boys’ progress at work and better relations result between employer and employee. Students in need of financial assistance in order to remain in school have also benefitted from this program, since they may work and still remain in school to complete the require- ments for graduation. Seniors must be recommended by the head of their department in order to be placed on this program, and in order to retain academic standing, the approval of the Direc- tor or guidance counselor is necessary. Robert Martin operates a lathe at the Baldwin-Duckworth Company. Employers have shown enthusiasm with this program, because they realize that guiding the students in what is often his first job, results in a happier and more competent worker.

In the boys’ division the classroom work alternates every other week with shop work, one half of each day being spent in related work and the other half day in academic classes. The girls’ programs vary with the shop work, English, math, science, social studies and United States history are required of the boys, and the girls-are offered;the addition of typing, nutrition and home nursing. ce Miss Mary Bawn Mr. Harry Cramer Mathematics Mathematics Mr. Earl Craven Mr. Herman Drewes Miss J.

ROE Guidance A new student entering Trade High School is often confused by the wealth of opportunities offered him from which he may select his occupation. There are twelve departments open to the girls, and the boys may make their choice from eighteen different trades. Since it is most important that a student make the right vocational choice, that is, one which is suited to his talent and personality, and in which he may eventually find employment, the guidance department is prepared to give every assistance to achieve this end. Students are interviewed by either Mrs. Teresina Thompson or Mr. Gerald Fitzgerald, the directors of guidance. Mrs. Teresina B. Thompson Counselor Parents are encouraged to visit Trade High School and discuss their children’s future with the principals and the counselors. Junior High School students fre- quently visit the school so that they may observe the various shops at work. School records are examined by the counselor and the student together to determine the kind of work for which he may be best adapted. In fact, every means at hand is used to insure, insofar as possible, the intelligent selection of a trade for each boy and girl. Mr. Gerald Fitzgerald Counselor Mr. Fitzgerald and Lionel Fredette confer on Lionel’s progress. Shirley Robitaille enjoys her work for the Mayflower Doughnut Company. SVo SC{E_EGF Tradescapades and Musie One of the most important events to take place during the school year is the annual presentation of Tradescapades. Written, produced and directed by Mrs. Virginia Simes, a cast of more than two hundred students is afforded the opportunity to display its talents in front of the footlights. Every department, every faculty member, in some way contributes toward the successful presentation of Tradescapades. It is a credit to the resourcefulness, ingenuity and cooperation of both students and faculty. The musical program at Trade High is as varied as time permits. Membership in the band is not restricted to those students owning instruments. A number of band instruments is owned by the school and may be used by students interested in learning to play. Instrumental instruction is provided by Mr. Donald Palowski, the director of the band. Mrs. Simes is the director of the glee club, “Tradesmen” and piano instruction. Thanksgiving, Easter and Christmas find the glee club presenting a fine musical program. The “Tradesmen” is a small group of boys who originally started a barbershop quartette, but has now grown to number eleven voices! Their appear- ance at assembly programs is always wholeheartedly welcomed by the student body. The piano classes, developed by Mrs. Simes, are designed to teach students to play popular music and accompaniments to old favorites. This method, as Mrs. Simes explains, does not go very deeply into music and is not intended for the serious student of music. The entire music program is offered with the intention of arousing additio nal interests so that students may carry on with them when they are finished with their formal education. i i| } ; ; j 4 i Mrs. Virgina Simes Glee Club Director z = fo) ae 7) Vv = a ° M w = (2) or ° [or _ 72) fo) c = vo cS a cn S ° = = iss} Y _ = n vo S v =) n S = vo 72) vo - Swing your partner!

Very often these services are taken for granted, yet were they not available they would be greatly missed. Of great assistance to the instructor and student alike is the variety of visual aids offered. Movies are, of course, widely used by each department. In addition, color slides or strip film may be shown in the classrooms. The delineascope is the third type of projection available, and this versatile machine projects any kind of printed matter, making it a highly useful machine. The visual aids program is under the direction of Mr. Harry LaBroad. Another service of a different kind is rendered Trade High School by the traffic squad. This group of boys and girls helps keep order during the long walk to the assembly hall and cafeteria. Mr. Vincent Kramer and Mrs. Martha Sullivan perform a very necessary service in organizing the boys’ and girls’ traffic squads. Students’ health is looked after by Mrs. Anna Roy, the school nurse, and Dr. Raymond Gelfman, the school physician. In a school where many machines are in constant use, it is a source of comfort to students to know that Mrs. Roy is on hand to administer first aid to cuts and bruises. In the few occasions of serious accidents, Mrs. Roy’s prompt assistance has been of help to avoid more serious consequences. In connection with the stressing of safety rules, for the first time this year, Trade High School, through the Student Association, has been able to offer five hundred dollars of insurance coverage for the small sum of one dollar. Seventy-five percent of the student body has taken advantage of this remarkable offer. Mr. Frank O’Brien has been the instigator of this aid and chairman of the insurance committee. Everyone recognizes the importance to the community of the program offered in driver education. Young people who take advantage of this course learn, not only manipulative skill, but what is of even greater importance, proper attitudes in driving. The Student Association of Trade High School is responsible for sponsoring many activities that could not take place without financial aid. One of these is this catalog, the major expense of which is borne by Student Association funds. Trade- scapades, the fall classes in dancing, senior activities for those members in good standing, these, and many other activities owe their existence to the support of the S. A. For many years, Mr. Dennis J. Brunton, as S. A. treasurer devoted much time and thought to the administration of the students’ money. Last September, upon Mr. Brunton’s resignation as treasurer, Mr. Mario Pellegrini was appointed to this position by Mr. Garvey. Mr. Pellegrini along with the S. A. advisory committee distribute with great thought, the money entrusted to their care. Lantern slides are projected by Albert Grimaldi, and Vincent Ferraro.

Mrs. Martha Sullivan directs the girls’ program and Mr. Edward Plumb and Mr. Edward McGibney are in charge of the boys. This program is designed to utilize the large playground as much as weather permits. Autumn finds the girls playing soccer, speedball and field hockey, while the boys enjoy touch football and speedball. During the winter, both boys and girls play basketball, volleyball and work out on the apparatus. In addition, the boys try their ability on the trampoline. With the coming of warm weather, softball comes to the fore, while tennis and square dancing may be elected by the girls. Intershop competition in basketball and _ softball commands more interest from the student body than interschool sports. Friendly rivalry runs high and everyone attends the final playoff when the winners are awarded a plaque to hang in their shop. Football, soccer, basketball, hockey, baseball and track are the major seasonal sports L offered to interested students. In addition, boys may try out for the bowling team or the rifle club. If there is sufficient interest, golf, tennis or swimming teams are formed. The entire physical education program is offered, not only to produce winning teams, but to instill the thought that working cooperatively, and good sportsmanship t are the means to success in life as well as in sports.
