She was possessed of an outgoing and warm nature, ideally suited to her profession, conscientious, and loyal to the highest sense of duty. Teachers and students alike loved and admired her. In our thoughts she will live forever. Jn Memoriam We dedicate this page to the lasting memory of: Mr. Paul A. Phillips A machine shop teacher who passed away on January 9, 1955 leaving a great void in our faculty. His farm was.his hobby and his living interest. He shared his interest with his pupils enriching their lives vicariously. The students looked to Mr. Phillips for help and guidance. The teachers admired the many facets of interest in his life, hunting, fishing and yachting. His presence will be missed in our school. He will continue to live in our thoughts. Guidance To help a student adjust to his life at Trade High, or to arrange his work to suit his needs is one of the duties of the counselors. Here Mr. Fitzgerald discusses a program change with Asial Burgess. : Occupational information is one of the many services available from the counselors’ office. Mary Morris, a senior in the Power Stitching department, is shown here with Mrs. Thompson looking up job information from the extensive occupational files open to every Trade High student. ‘UzTTV eAINYL pue ‘xlorgey] slouvazy ‘100g plorey ‘h1044R1G eStoexr ‘ouseyong euey :FYsII 0} 4je] ‘BUIPuvys MOUPOOX) SoTIVyQ pue ‘{Slewssoy plempy “roquiey jyoresiey, ‘uosuyor uvopr ‘onsen Joq drytyq ‘Apouuey uyor ‘snug pleyoIy :4YsII 0} Jo] “MOL PpUuoIIS ‘9409 UdseIIq pu ‘ssITq Al[eg ‘xoupeT Arey ‘AvpOT Assep “queptserd ‘s1eZ0y preuoy :4YysI1 07 4Jo, ‘MOL 4SILT ‘410ddns poyreoy-ojoym pue ydutoid sty oateoor SAeMye Yorum ‘AoAIey “ip ‘Tedroutmd ano 04 suoljepusutuode seyeU JJ ‘Sasuvyo pesodoid 10f pavog-sulpunos e@ se jooyss anoA jo wUoryearysTurWpe oy} Aq poesn SI 4J ‘[ooyos anoA url ofI[ 04 Suturezsred S19}jeUL UL ddIOA vw oavy 0} AqtuNjZoddo ue ‘YsIR Opeay, Jo syvepnys oy} ‘noA BulAts Jo ssodand oy} toy poztuvdio ‘Apoq aAlyejuoseider ano st yy ‘dnois doys yore woriy seatejueseider omy JO postuorduiod st [lsunoDg Juepnyg anoz jlounos jJuepNyis f£10NoOr pociety ee ————E—————== SC rr — The Honor Society is composed of those students who have achieved a scholastic average of B or above, who have a fine attendance record, and who are above average in citizenship ratings. These students have also made contributions to the various extra-curricular activities at Trade High. Membership in the Honor Society is approved by a committee of teachers on a yearly basis. The members of the society meet from time to time throughout the year for the purpose of will benefit the school. Honor pins are awarded each September based on a student’s record for the previous year.

It is an average sized town, not too large, not too small, but just about the right size for its inhab- itants, many of whom graduated from Springfield Trade High School with the Class of 1955. Tradesville, located on an island not far from the Hawaiian Islands, started, developed, and grew because of a group of the 1955 Eager Beavers who found life dull and work slow in 1962. This energetic group — Richard Decker, an architect always ready to try some-- thing new; James Bernardo, head of a construction company anxious for bigger and better building jobs; Francis LaCroix, a banker with what it takes to finance a new project; and Leonard Patrie, champion talker and seller of any idea — persuaded most of their Trade classmates to leave the U.S.A., to go to the Pacific, and to start a brand new town where the prevailing slogan was, of course, “Doult. Y ourselt.” Now, just thirteen years later, in this year 1975, Tradesville is a booming town which is attracting many newcomers and arousing much interest here in Spring- field. Especially interested are the administrators and syaff members of Trade High. Yes, Trade is still in existence with Neil Degon as principal, Ronnie Rogers as assistant principal of the Boy’s Division. Sandra Heineman as assistant principal directing the Girls’ Division, and Kenneth Burns in charge of attendance and detention problems. The Guidance Counselors, Roger Tessier and Patricia Blanchard, have just re- ceived a glowing account of Tradesville, the town which Trade built, from Richard Gregoire, newspaper report- er and his wife, the former Pat Freeman, who vacationed with their most contented classmates. Victor Artioli, head instructor of the Printing Department, has pre- pared several copies of the newsy letter which is being read in an administrative conference. Shall we join this group of 1975 Trade officials and hear all about Tradesvilie? Sunewlowl oto This spring when Pat and I were due for a vaca- tion, naturally our thoughts turned to Tradesville. And now we are glad we went ahead and planned a trip to this beautiful island town where so many of our classmates have made good. We thought you would like to hear about them, too, and perhaps have the latest information for your Placement Follow-up File. The Pacific Islands Travel Service in Los Angeles, California, has a Tradesville representative, Eileen Cote. Knowing how thoroughly she would arrange all details for our trip, we relaxed and let her make our plane and hotel reservations. Eugene Baker greeted us at the airport, handed over our tickets, and made sure that Philip Risley loaded our bags onto the Super Pacific Plane which was piloted by the Terzi boys, Peter and George. The Navigator, Benny Contrino, seemed to have checked everything carefully. Our stewardess for the flight, Patricia Martin, seated us, made us comfortable, gave us the necessary instructions (she came back later Prophesy to really talk), and we were ready for the great take- off. Phillip Drumheller, looking rather pleased but full of business, boarded the plane at the last moment. Later he told us he had just completed plans for his own T.V. Studio. The flight. was pleasant, but Pat and I anxiously waited to land at Tradesville Island Airport. The day was warm, the sky and ocean were very blue, and we knew we were to be treated to a pleasurable two weeks. The first person we saw at the airport was Anthony Messina, the official greeter, who quickly escorted us to one of Martone’s Taxi Cabs. We were amazed to find two drivers, Carmino Longhi and Stanley Grabowski, for the one cab. Later we learned that Leonard wants to be sure of one wide awake driver at all times for each of his taxis. We were driven along Dreyer’s Drive to King Avenue where we soon saw the Maloof Hotel which proved to have very deluxe and swanky accom- modations. William Flanders, the manager, made us feel most welcome, and the desk clerk, Patrick San- taniello, checked our reservations while the bell-hops clicked under the directive eyes of Raymond Hayward. We have a delightful view of the ocean from our room, and the head housekeeper, Hazel Baidy, certainally sees to it that her staff give us all the comforts of home and with a smile. Ruth Lyon is the hotel hostess, and at the head of the bakery staff is good natured Joseph Loglisci whose baking specialty is Hawaiian Coconut Cake. The Chamber of Commerce, under the able direction of Robert Berselli, maintains an Information Booth of which Margaret Lambert is in charge. John Harrington assists in answering questions, gives out maps of the town which Asial Burgess prepares, makes sure each tourist has a copy of Russell’s Preview, Charlie’s week- ly publication of coming events, and suggests a tour in Richard Stolpinski’s Sight Seeing Special with running comments by Richard Nelson. When we stopped at the booth, Vin Del Negro was giving out free passes for the Tarr Community House Concert featuring the Island’s Symphony Orchestra directed by Robert Wright. At the concert, we were delighted to find several of our musical classmates included on the program. Verna Cod- erre and Priscilla Stahovich had important clarinet selections, Bernard Yarmitzky played the violin superbly, James O’Neil made himself heard in the percussion section, and, of course, Mabel Hewson was the soloist of the evening. Elva Stronberg was in charge of the usherettes, and Edward Benson made sure that all who entered had tickets. We saw and talked with former friends who were in the audience. Seated in the front row were Superintendent of Schools, Robert Ferris with his blonde wife, Lucille Kratochvil; Jack Moriarty, who jetted right into the Town Water Department as direc- tor; and Philip Del Negro, who serves as Tax Collector for the community. Naturally a trip to Town Hall Center gave us a chance to see several ’55ers in action. The mayor is Robert Hersey and with his most efficient, political- minded secretary, Sheila Bryant, we found one answer to why Tradesville is an up-and-coming place. The government, democratic in form, has several live wire Council Members — Richard Fluke, who never passed up a chance to argue; Ronald Keeton, who always insisted that his way was the right way; and Ronald Moody, another spark who was ever ready with the answer, “Here”. Superintendent of Streets and Engineering, Robert Trainor, explained that it was his idea to name some streets and buildings in memory of the good old days at Trade High. Robert employs Gerald Buoniconti and Leonard Michaelson as his head engineers. Pat and I were not at all surprised to read Joe Piteo’s name on the Treasurer’s door. Nor did we expect to see anyone else but Thuryle Allen assisting him with the financial accounts. in 1955. Carol De Maio is putting all the rules for sanitation into effect in her Health Department Office. We couldn’t find a speck of dust there. Believe it or not, Robert Cipraini is the Chief of Police. George LaBombard, Traffic Bureau Head, working with Robert, is doing his best to promote law and order. We were guests for luncheon at the Hersey’s home on Sherwood Avenue. Yes, you guessed correctly, Jean Gendreau is Mrs. Hersey. As we approached the house, a crew from Jackson’s Landscape Gardeners was work- ing on the grounds. Robert King and David Smith, joint owners of the coneern, make sure that their em- ployees — George Smith, Clifford Madison, James Tipton, and Fred Eldridge — pick up all papers, stick , and stones before starting on their real floral assignment. Bob and Jean were a delightful host and hostess and told us of the co-operative spirit which prevails through- out the city among the former Trade graduates, their families, and friends. Carol Toulson and Maureen Pur- cell are in charge of the housekeeping at the Hersey’s. The food was excellent under their supervision, with Gerald Legare at the range. Carole Bryden is governess for the three very polite Hersey children who were seen but not heard. When the schools were being built, the community voters decided to have all their juvenile problems in one area. We visited Sullivan Square where the only three schools of the town are to be found. Superin- tendent Ferris appointed the principals—Carl Boyer for the Fitzgerald High School, Richard Smus for the Thompson Junior High, and Ronald White for the Hol- land Elementary School. Not many of our graduates are serving as teachers, but we did find Charles Mirolli at a school desk instructing in mathematics. Elizabeth McCarthy was: putting the junior high girls through the paces in some strenuous gymnastics, and Jeanne Duquette had her twenty third graders doing their spelling lesson. Shirley Bourdon is in charge of the lunch department for the combined schools. Not far away we saw the unique Plumb Recrea- tional Center, a place for old and young with Roger Denault as the general sponsor. Edward Briggs was checking the outside bowling greens; Leo Barbee and Charles Warner are co-owners of the LaBroad Better Bowling Alleys; William Tupper was supervising the tennis courts; William Frangie was running a marble tournament; the swimming pool for adults was being watched by Stephen Kowal; Hubert Provost was super- vising the children’s wading pool; James Clune was con- They were a pair hard to get ahead. of.-back .. ducting a series of softball games; Mulcahy’s Theatre was offering several current hits; anc John Rommel- fanger was supervising the Chess Corner and suggesting helpful moves. As we drove along the main street, which is Garvey Street, we saw many former classmates con- ducting businesses which seem a far cry from their trades learned back home. Peter Green has a chain of grocery stores with Robert Charron managing the largest one. Peter said that the Johnson Street branch was the responsibility of George Townsley, and Kenneth Gregory took care of the one on Brown Street. The D and D Drugstore, owned by Robert DeMaio and Richard Dumas, employs Andre Fournier as pharm- acist with Thomas Ashe, another Auto Body graduate, helping to mix up the prescriptions. Store there were many Trade-ites working for Daniel. Browsing through the store, we found Marianne Schlitt, who still has that school girl complexion, selling cosmetics; Charles La- Plante, who always had his hand in affairs, showing men’s. gloves; David Fish, that good-looking, dark haired boy, modeling what the best dressed man should wear; Lucien Michaud, the necktie fanatic, selling neck- ties; Gloria May measuring off yards of cloth goods to sell; and Frederick Serra on the third floor, as usual, a floor walker in the Teen Age Girls’ Department. In Isham’s Department Lyle Akers’ Jewelry Store features pearls rather than the usual diamonds. In fact, Pearl Allen is his best saleslady. Jay Chartier manages one section of the store, the Watch and Clock Department. He is still doing an excellent job of watching the clocks. Alfred Adams and John Allen own the Ace Window Display Service. When business is rushing, John Walsh speeds in to help Roy Woodward arrange displays. This concern and many others use Neon Signs from Richard Grumt, who advocates that it pays to advertise. Rich- ard always liked to be heard, and now everyone can almost hear his flashy signs. Charlotte Severns and Raymond Colson have an Ice Cream Bar. They advertise, “Our Ice Cream has no ice, no cream, no calories-—is served in cones, dishes, bulk, or down your back.” White’s Cleaning Establishment has the reputation of cleaning clothes, furniture, or houses, cleaner than ever. Raymond, Florence, and William guarantee “Satis- faction or your money back’, on the expert cleaning performed by Earl Royce, Richard Sabadosa, and Russeli Morgan. We saw a very prosperous looking office with gold lettering on the door, “Real Estate and Insurance. Til- man Legere and Andrew Lind. Office calls by appoint- ment only.” We wondered how and where these two spent their leisure time and money. With but little need for cars as there really is no place to go, the auto mechanics had to turn to other means of making a living. Ronald Adams, Raymond Bednarz, and Otis Bruce service the several busses, taxis, and the few cars, but they specialize in repairing bicycles at the O.B.A. Bicycle Company. As every family owns at least two bicycles, this is quite a business. The colorful, sporty -looking bikes on the streets of Tradesville are something to see. Bigelow - Best Bicycles sells them all. Richard and Archibald even have a bicycle built for two which is a model with a basket where baby rides while mother pushes the pedals. At this progressive store, Robert Symonds is head salesman, and Marilyn Batchelor struggles with the cash register and the books. William Blum, the ex- Marine, at least keeps the name in front of him. At Blum’s Marine Equipment and Supplies, the stock has every thing needed for bwoat- ing and fishing. William Flood points out the good quality boats, Francis Crowley sells the best fishing bait (no crawlers), Leon Holman and Walter Dulski test all the boats for easy sailing and no tipping, and Bruce Strange tells fish stories to induce prospective custom- ers to try their luck. Around the corner on Brunton Street is the Fast Service Electric Company, owned by Robert Black and John O’Connor. All types of appliances, electrical in nature, of course, are sold by Joseph Wright and Richard Bilton. The service department is the business of Ray James and David Roche who still make a good team. Another unique idea, which was Harold Potter’s brain child, is Traders’ Trail where customers travel from one booth to another to buy various necessary articles for the home. First is Kiddies’ Korner where Alex Fearn, manager and salesman, entertains the little tots left there while their mothers shop. Alex enjoys demonstrating the toys (he never really grew up, you know) and occasionally he sells a few of his choicest, tricky toys. Patricia Mulvaney is on hand to tend to the children, and after shopping hours she maintains a baby sitting service. There’s a booth along the trail for pins, needles, thread, and such, managed by Janet Hoar; another for pens, pencils, and paper supplies is in charge of Russell Frame who should have an ample personal supply of pencils now; then the booth where Grace Dimauro helps one select cards, magazines, and books; The Practical Home Supplies section has Virginia Provost demonstrating correct use of booms, mops, and brushes; the Make-Life-Easier area exhibits paper cups, plates and napkins, and here Robert Harington holds forth (must be his wife makes him do the dishes at home); one of the last booths sells bolts, nuts, screws, and tacks, and Jack Simpson keeps this section together; and finally the Lending Library where Edward McDonald and Robert Melcher take turns in helping one select a book (they read them all, especially those on the shelf labeled Books You Should Re-Read which naturally features Arrowsmith, Silas Marner, Macbeth, and other classics). John Skala runs a popular Letter Service. He told us that his staff will write, type, stamp, and mail a letter to anyone, anywhere. Their slogan is, “You tell us, we write, you take the consequences.” Up Skelley Avenue, Pat found the more elite shops. At Dearborn’s Bridal Shoppe, Joyce helps the younger set choose wisely for the grand occasion. Joan Potter assists with fittings and alterations. The L.M. Dress Shop caters to the many types and tastes. Constance Ryan and Corrine Meade are the ladies who manage this shop, with Carole Bacon and Nancy Coles doing the tucks, seams, and hems behind the scenes. Dorothy Sahovey runs a high class Gift Shoppe. Elaine Auger sells the expensive gifts, and, for a slight charge, Sue Webb wraps them. Next door is Bettie Ford’s Florist Shop where Richard Misco takes the orders and cash, Linda Wilson keeps the flowers looking fresh, and Edward Smart and Lawrence LaClere make all the floral arrangements. Girard and LaFlamme (they’re Ronald and Lorraine) own a music Store. Carmela Santaniello sings and then sells sheet music, Lawrence Ross keeps the record play- ers in repair, Rogers Hill specializes in piano sales, and Marvin Waxler sees that everything is waxed and tuned to go. By using speedy equipment with the latest devices and short cuts, Dorothy Collins runs a Deluxe Beauty Salon. Marion Settle and Jeannette Severns have become expert operators under Dorothy’s guiding hands. Most of the town’s families do their own cooking and eat at home, but a community must have at least one restaurant. Leave it to Rosemarie Puzzo and Mary Thompson! They saw the need and filled it. Their G and C Tea Room (Gilson and Carlisle, Good and Clean, Glamorous and Classy —any and all would fit) often has a waiting line of hungry guests. Gagnon’s Optical Company had such an astonish- ing ad in the window that we had to _ investigate. Albert certainally pulled a new stunt with glasses. His helper, Gino Vignato (still liking to fool people), demonstrates the Dark and Rose Double Lens Glasses - dark ones for too bright days, flick an eyelash and it’s rose colored lenses for the dreary days. So, Gino says, “Wear a pair and your day can always be just right.” On our way out Richardson Drive, we saw men from the Donald Lesiege Excavating Company just start- ing the Drumheller T. V .Station and Studio for which Edward Irwin and Robert Crane drafted the plans. Lawrence, owner of the Spinks Lumber Concern, was happy to have another big order as business had slacked off considerably. Edward Szlachetka and Stuart Wahl- berg were to take over the construction job for V. Bortolussi, Contractor. Phillip had already hired one important member for his staff, Roger Bourcier, pro- ducer, who was vacationing after a strenuous season in Hollywood. Edward Lambert, who you will remember talked in flowery language, is saying it with flowers in a big way today. He is president of the Floral Export Company. Norman and Richard Henry really run the outfit (their boss is very interested in water skiing) with the expert aid of Dona Cote, secretary, and Elaine Gravel, her business office manager. John Kennedy heads the Orchid Department (you may expect a ship- ment of rare blooms anyday now); Donald Fadden is supervisor of the greenhouses; Joan Severns, botany enthusiast, spends night and day in the laboratory per- fecting seeds, bulbs, and plants; Ralph Meyer is general caretaker of the entire grounds; Edwin Pagnoni and Norman Grise have charge of all the shipping details; and Walter Graham is chief packer. Seeing the beau- tiful display of flowers and meeting the several 1955 grads who were employed there made our tour of this establishment highly interesting. Orlando Mirolli, Harold Davis, and Harry LeMay have a flourishing pineapple business. They grow beautiful fruit, but Harry is. still trying to polish a pineapple as he could an apple. You should see Center’s Cabana on the beach where Richard and his partner, Joe Sieracki, offer delicious dining (the chef is Edward Rossmeis]); delightful dan- cing to soft music by Alfred Serra and his Serenaders with lovely lighting and sound effects by Charles Bell- rose and Foster Turner; and elegant entertainment by Dorothy O’Connor and her Hula Dancing Girls with the singing star, William Brigham. I thought for a few minutes that Pat was going right onto the floor and join those swaying beauties. The hosts told us the elaborate designing was done by Robert Johnsen and James Cowles with the admirable interior decorating completed by Robert Moore. Guests are invited to wan- der outside under the tropical moonlight, to sip William Lemon’s famous lemon and pineapple drink which is served in a coconut shell, and to buy cigarettes from the attractive little lady, Antoinette Remillard. During the afternoon, Daniel Cheney attends to the guests’ beach comforts, supplying cushions, chairs, and beach umbrellas while the water skiing experts instructed by the champion David Connelly, put on a_ breath-taking exhibition. This sport satisfies several of our former athletes, Leonard Madison, Sherman Davis, and John Hurley. Down the beach and around the cove where ordi- nary bathing is enjoyed, two life guards, Richard Houde and Howard McGrath patrol the beach and rush any emergency case to the First Aid Station where Jane Dougherty and John Krokos take over. Children are amused on the beach by games planned and supervised by Lucy Walter. Popular with them is the Popcorn, Lolli- pop, Soda Pop, and Popsicle Stand managed by Bernard Popp. Equally attractive is Robert Colapietro’s selection of Gum, Peanuts, Candies, and Potato Chips. At the Snack Shack, Arthur Pennnington serves Jeanne Frech- ette’s fresh doughnuts. We wish we could write you the many interesting stories we have heard during our pleasant visits with our 1955 classmates and repeat their many messages to you in Springfield. By the way, Pat wants me to assure you that many of the girls from the class are married although I have used their maiden names in this letter. And now for our news! We have so thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks here that I have sent in my notice to the Daily News, and we are going to stay right here with our Tradesville friends. Are you envious? How about coming to join us? ae Oe enorme ye 6 oe Oe fe CLASS ea ITH We, the graduating class of Springfield Trade High School. in the City of Springfield, in the County of Hampden, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifty-five, being of sound body and mind, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. We leave our sincerest thanks to the administrators and faculty for their patience and understanding, their inspiration and encourage- ment, and their kind efforts and help—all we have needed to acquire our goal. To Mrs. Holland, Mr. O’Brien, Mr. Elvin, and their co-workers, we leave our heartfelt expression of appreciation for the satisfying pro- duction of the 1955 Beaver. To Mrs. Klingsporn and Mr. Johnson, the 1956 Class Advisers, we leave our sympathy for all the problems and headaches they will have in getting their class through the year to graduation. Victor Artioli leaves his seat as President of the Honor Society to David Chandler. Don’t try to rest on Victor’s laurels, David. John Walsh leaves his good taste in clothes to any tenth grader who needs to make a good impression. Leon Holman passes on his basketball techniques to next year’s team with the hope that they will be used. Gerald Legare leaves to the next boy in Foods the ability to cap- ture the ear of any of his co-workers. Nancy Coles leaves her dislike for the gym floor to any junior who can learn to love it. Phil and Vin Del Negro leave their excuses for getting out of English to any student who can beat them at the profession. Richard Grumt leaves to the Beauty Culture Department his re- grets that no one was able to give him that famous hair cut. Leonard Martone leaves his practice of cat napping in class to any junior lucky enough to have’a long ride to school in the morning. Lucille Kratochvil leaves her pastry bench to Darla Daigle with a cake making record to be surpassed. Roy Woodward leaves his paint and brushes to William Rodd with instructions to finish the Beauty Culture Shop. Richard Smus wills his bowling record as a challenge to any future Trade bowler. Marianne Schlitt leaves to Nancy Bassett her strength to be able to play a one-girl game of basketball. Leonard Patrie leaves his All Day Passes to a fresnman boy who would like to haunt the girls’ division. Bernard Popp leaves an over-sized pencil to Mr. Brunton to aid in making out detention notices. Carol De Maio leaves a set of earmuffs to Doris Sanders guaran- teed to keep out all the noise so that Doris, at least, won’t hear herself. Fred Serra wills to Mr. Sherwood a thick red carpet to make his corridor walks more comfortable. Alex Fearn leaves his full bag of tricks plus his corny jokes to any junior who really does not want to graduate in ’56. Margaret Lambert and Thuryle Allen leave their thoroughness and dependability to the two best qualified applicants. Earl Royce gives over his cashier’s job in the cafeteria to Arthur Bousquet who needs a little change during the two lunch periods. Phillip Drumheller leaves his position as radio announcer of Sta- tion WEDK to someone who can find time for the job. Richard Dumas leaves his free hours in the morning to Lester Langevin so that the absentee bulletins will surely be passed out next year. Pat Freeman leaves her candy papers to Betty Barnes to throw into the waste basket. Mabel Hewson, as soloist, leaves a prominent place in the Glee Club for which several girls may compete. Daniel Cheney leaves at least one foot of his towering height and a few of his extra pounds of weight to Armand LaMountain. Will you use them, Armand? Patricia Blanchard leaves to her Trade colleague, Dorothy Ethier, her ability to talk anyone, at any time, into anything. To any junior boy who isn’t busy on Saturday night, Pat Mul- vaney gladly leaves her telephone number. Elizabeth McCarthy leaves her basketball skill for Mrs. Sullivan to pass on to some new student who wishes to star in the sport. Gloria May leaves her sleeping powders to any sncring junior. Jack Moriarty leaves his love for puppies to Mrs. Connor, who we know will appreciate it. Dona Cote and Joseph Loglisci leave their extra math ability to students who have difficulty trying to figure how to pass senior math. Ace Burgess passes his hockey position as goalie to Michael Has- kins. May you guard it well, Michael, and allow no scoring for Trade opponents next year. Ronnie Rogers leaves an aspiring junior the opportunity to make good as president of the Student Council, to take an important respon- sibility on the Craftsman Staff, or to follow in his footsteps and become a fine leader. Carl Boyer leaves his over-sized aspirin bottle, which he has just refilled, to the 56 Class President with the advice that the pills be taken sparingly if they are to last the year out. The class vice-president and chairman of the banquet and prom committee, Lucille Kratochvil, leaves two important assignments for a very ambitious junior worker to fill. To a deserving junior, Sheila Bryant wills the cheerfulness, which made her a successful secretary of the senior class. Joseph Piteo passes on his money worries to the next senior treasurer. Have fun with your class dues, treasurer of 756. Roger Denault and Elaine Gravel leave to the marshals who will succeed them their rubber-sole shoes. The seniors leave many openings in the field of sports and var- ious places of honor to be filled by members of the class of 1956. May they carry on in a worthy way. To our adviser, Miss Melvin, we leave a one way ticket to Port ‘Barrow, Alaska, with the hope that she may find it a good cooling off place. To Mr. Magee we leave free time. As he had none this past year, we hope that, with his class advising duties finished, he may soon have at least 55 uninterrupted days. Signed and sealed this thirteenth day of May in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and _ fifty-five. The Class of 1955 Presidents Message June 13, 1955, will be a treasured day for the seniors of Trade High School. That day not only ends a period of formal study during which we have worked under the guidance of trained and experienced teachers, but it also begins the time in which we shall go out into the world to earn a living. The paths of life will take us in many different directions. Some of the boys of this class of ’55 have left, and more will be leaving to serve in the armed forces. In case of war, these boys of today, the men of tomorrow, will be fighting to save our country’s freedom which we all hold so dear. Other students of our class will immediately serve their communities effectively and satisfactorily through the various trades which they have learned here at school. All of us, as good Americans, will strive to give of our talents, to accept responsibility, to be loyal to principle, and to be worthy of the heritage which is ours. It is my wish that wherever we go, whatever we do, the training that we have had at Trade High will prove its worth. I hope we may become respected men and women, able in every way to take a respon- sible place in society. I am sure that as time goes on, we may look back upon these years at Trade High School as a wonderful, profitable experience. May we always remember them as three of the happiest and most worthwhile years of our lives. So together today, we face the future full of hope. We come to these last few weeks with mixed emotions. There is a bit of sadness: We shall miss our classmates and life we have known. There is grati- tude: We-appreciate the sacrifices of our parents, and the patience and helpfulness of our teachers. There is joy: We, the 1955 graduates of Trade High School, shall become the responsible citizens of tomcrrow. We should not wish it otherwise. 1955 Class History September, 1952! We well realize that we are seniors and that advanced age has already dimmed our memory of those far-away days when our class, the class of 1955, entered Trade High School. We are afraid that we remember only the high spots of our freshman year. Of course, our class was not organized then, but we did not let that worry us. Life at Trade was far too busy and interesting; there was no time to worry. We were impressed by our fine, big building with its passenger elevator, its large auditorium, and its modern cafeteria. We enjoyed spending half of our time working in the shop of our choice. We appreciated the kindness and friendliness of our teachers. We were awed by the very big boys—hundreds of them. We looked forward to our excellent assemblies — usually on Friday mornings. 1952 was a presidential year. When the candidates visited Springfield in the course of their campaigns, we were allowed to go to see them and hear them speak. Finally, early in November, we voted, and as Trade High went, so went the Nation—for President Eisen- hower. We were able to see the President inaugu- rated also, because, on Inauguration Day, Mr. Garvey had several large television sets moved into our auditorium. The whole school and some guests assembled there to watch the exercises in Washington, The show! THE SHOW! Frankly, by Christmas we were becoming a bit bored by so much mention of the show. But—what a show! Everybody—but everybody— had some part—singing, painting scenery, selling tickets, printing programs, acting. Trades- capades of 1953 was presented in February after a month of preparation. As the years go by, we shall probably see more talented actors and better known shows, but none will be more wonderful than our first Tradescapades. Toward the end of May we had our Field Day — not really a day, but just a few hours —on our ath- letic field behind the school. It was a beautiful spring afternoon — just right for the races, the faculty base- ball game, and finally the tug-of-war. Our field lacks a brook or pond, of course, but a fire hose does very well. We stamped and yelled and cheered for the boys at either end of the rope— whichever group seemed to sewing costumes, be winning, Surprisingly soon it was the last of June. One Friday morning we received our final report cards, and we were happy or sad—-and free for two glorious months, Just as June comes, so does September. We were reluctant to return to school. The novelty of Trade had worn off. We had nothing but classes to look forward to for ten long months. However, we had reckoned without the Springfield School Committee. We returned to find that we had an efficient, new assistant principal, Miss Esther Skelley. Our own Mrs. Thompson, who had been acting principal of the girls’ division during our freshman year, had returned to her former position, that of girls’ guidance counselor. And Trade had gone co-educational — or as co-educational as it could with the boys outnumbering the girls three to one! At iast boys could venture onto the third floor, which had always been No-Man’s Land. On October thirtieth, we had our first class meet- ing with our faculty advisers, Miss Ruth Page and Mr. John D’Arcy. Then things really began to happen. We were in the midst of campaigns and an election of our own; we were selecting class rings; we were consid- ering a junior prom. Our junior class election was held the sixth of January. We elected Roger Denault president, Sheila Bryant vice-president, Patricia Freeman secretary, Carl Boyer treasurer, and Patricia Blanchard and Alfred Serra marshals. The big social event of our junior year was the dance which we gave to the seniors in our gym the fourteenth of May. It was a lovely party. We all had a wonderful time. And then we were seniors! We came back to school on September eighth for our last year, feeling very much that we owned the building and could rule everyone in it. We had a new adviser, Miss Melvin, because Miss Page had been transferred to the High School of Commerce during the summer. We elected our senior officers the fourteenth of October. Carl Boyer is our president; Lucille Kratochvil, vice-president; Sheila Bryant, secretary; Joseph Piteo, treasurer; Elaine Gravel and Roger Denault, marshals. Soon we were knee-deep in senior activities—having — class meetings, being measured for graduation caps and gowns, posing for class pictures, considering our year book, and paying class dues. It was really later than we thought. About the first of December, we faced another change. Our adviser, Mr. D’Arcy, left teaching to devote all of his time to his own electrical business. Mr. Magee of the patternmaking department was ap- pointed to replace him. Although we regret losing Miss Page and Mr. D’Arcy, we hope that they will both be happy in their new work. We feel that we are fortu- nate in having Miss Melvin and Mr. Magee to guide us because we shall profit from their experience of two years ago when they were advisers to the class of 19538. We soon learned that along with the fun and pres- tige of being seniors, there is plenty of planning, par- ticipation, and paying. We tried to promote keener | school spirit in urging our class members to attend a basketball game together—to sit together and cheer together. We accepted the challenge of the juniors, who have been exceedingly active this year, to play them in basketball on February 24. Remember, we won that day — the senior girls’ team, the senior boys’ team, and the senior salespeople who sold supporters’ tags! In March we had two Thursdays reserved for us in the Tea Room. Those seniors who were in attendance en- joyed that dinner —it wasn’t Thanksgiving Day, but the turkey was good! Previous to the first day of spring, our committee had to more than turn their thoughts to the banquet and prom, Class Day, and graduation; they really had to work out detailed plans. Continuously throughout the year we heard, “Are your dues fully paid? Have you placed your deposit on a yearbook? Do you have the balance which is due on your class rings? Will you pay for your banquet ticket, please? Have you taken care of the rental fee for your cap and gown?” Yes, we learned that seniors have to plan, participate, and pay if the senior year is to be an enjoyable one There have been several new changes, honors, and developments which we are proud to claim in this, our year of ’55,—the new athletic field has been started; a parking area for student cars has been provided as well as regular spaces assigned to the faculty; the pattern shop and the beauty culture department have been enlarged; the electric department is being equipped to include oil burner instruction; the cafeteria is open before school to serve breakfast to the early arrivers and the late risers; the Student Association Store was completed and really is selling a variety of articles; the library has opened its doors to reveal a delightful room in which to read and do reference work; the print department, with the assistance of Mrs. Hol- land, editorial adviser, and Mr. Elvin, vhotographer, is producing the 1955 Beaver; Trade’s first Honor Society was organized to recognize and honor the students with high scholastic achievements; a swimming team was started which competed successfully in several meets; the ’54-’55 basketball team became City Co-Champs; and Trade’s Bowlers rolled into top place in the Bowling League which includes all the Springfield high schools and Ludlow High. Congratulations to the champions! Now our days at Trade are really numbered al- though three of the most important are ahead — our senior banquet and prom the evening of April twenty- seventh at the Highland Hotel; our class day exercises on Friday, May thirteenth; and finally our graduation at the Municipal Auditorium the evening of June thirteenth. Of course, we are looking forward with pleasure to our final activities, but we are sorry, too, to see our school days end. This year we do not feel like chanting as we did gleefully when we were small: “No more teacher, No more school, No more sitting on the dunce’s stool But the freshmen are becoming smaller every year. Isn’t that a sure sign that we are grown-up and ready to step into the adult world? 7?

After a four game slump, two of which were inter- | school games during the middle of the season, our team went on to win ten of the next eleven games, including games with Technical, Cathedral, and Classical practically within the same week. Our team was acclaimed the come- ‘back team of the year. | The Trade boys turned the tables on every team, ex- cept Chicopee, that defeated them during the first round, and they established a season’s record of fifteen wins against eight losses, including two tournament games. They were named as co-champions of the Springfield Inter-city School League along with Tech’s team, which ‘they had defeated twice for Tech’s only inter-school _ losses. Other accomplishments of this year’s team were the two | defeats over Enfield (Connecticut) High School, Class C Connecticut State Champions, a team which was sporting a 16-1 record when it met Trade for the second time. Trade’s 90-72 victory over Cathedral came within one point of tying the Field House record for a high school scoring record. Archie Best goes up for a layup shot in the Holyoke Catholic game. Here, in the Classical game, Archie Best, number 27, and Stewart Sheldon are going up for a rebound. Between them is Blake, num- ber 5, of Classical. Alfred Adams is in the right background. Three of our boys, Vincent DelNegro, Leon Holman, and Steward Sheldon, were honored by being selected for the all-city team.
