Garvey, Mr. Dennis J. Brunton, Mrs. Teresina B. Thompson, Mrs. Rita S. Triggs, Mr. James J. Fitzgib- bons, and all the members of the faculty for their patience and untiring efforts. A few years from now, looking back, we shall re- member that much of our success is due to Springfield Trade High School. We have spent three long years in shops, in aca- demic classes, and on the athletic field. It was there that we planned for our future. The students and friends that we leave behind will strive to equal our record and to make it even better. We want them to keep the name of Springfield Trade High School out- standing and to add stature to it. The time for our graduation has come. We hope to continue our training and increase our skills in the years that lie ahead. The future, whatever it may be, will hold many eventful memories when we, as alumni, think with pride of our years at Springfield Trade High School. We charge you, our classmates, with the re- sponsibility of maintaining the respect and distinction which our school now enjoys. To you all, both faculty and students, we extend our best wishes. ARTHUR J. McKENNA PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1959 We, the members of the class of ‘59, who are about to depart from this glorious institution, do hereby prophesy that in an undetermined number of years, the following people will be in the following walks of life: If we visit Trade High in 1970 we'll see at least three familiar faces. One will be that of James Callahan, who now owns what was formerly The Brown Studio. The other two that we know are right there in the girls’ gym office waiting to have their eleventh sitting for senior pictures. Yes, they are Charlie Robidoux and Ronald “Moose” McCarthy. Now let’s move to the Longmeadow section where we'll find a modern glass house with Mr. and Mrs. Louis Jacques in big letters on the door. The house was designed and built by Louie who lives in it along with his good wife, the former Alice Gaudreau. She, incidentally, is the proprietress of a very successful beauty salon. If we visit Boston we'll see a room at M. |. T. with the doors locked and the curtains closed. Some secret experiment going on, perhaps? No, it’s only Professor Douglas Chevalier putting his electrical knowledge to work trying to fix his son’s electric train. (Yes, girls, we said son!). At our next stop, Washington, D. C., we see a woman entering the office of the President. Why, it’s June Arduino, the first woman representative to Congress! While we're here, let’s peek in and see if we recognize the President. Sure enough, it’s Arthur J. McKenna, Jr. We always knew he’d make it. Jumping out to Chicago, we find the city under a reign of terror. Gangsters are controlling the whole place. Only one person could possibly be behind all this, and that’s Emedio Maloni, known throughout the underworld as “Chooch.” There he is now, and isn’t that Carol Raffenetti with him? And Jeri Laro, too! They’re un- doubtedly planning something. Let’s step across the border to Montreal where the Canadiens are warming up before a big hockey game. There’s Coach Dan Willette briefing his two leading scorers, Lee Vermette and Gerald Bracci. Good luck, boys. Now we go on to the Big Town, New York City, and to the home of Nelson Rockefeller who employs a maid by the name of Cynthia Connor. Still waiting for the right man, Cindy? Out on the street stand two distinguished, prosperous, well-bred, high-class looking gentlemen, Larry Landry and Richard Malaguti, discussing world affairs, no doubt. But — looks can be deceiving! Watch ‘em go after the bottle dropped by that slightly intoxicated gentleman who looks very much like Jackie Brunton. The circus is in town, too. It isn’t Barnum and Bailey, though; it’s Work and Charter — Connie and Evelyn, that is, who started at the bottom and worked their way up. It also employs Paul Dougherty who started at the bottom — and stayed there. Out to sunny California we go, where surprisingly enough, the movie industry still exists. We are fortunate to find a large group of celebrities all together. That’s Dodo Kutzenko, the movie queen, having her hair done by the world- famous stylist, Marilyn Claus. Nearby, in the Esquire Building — you know, they make calendars — we find the world’s leading fashion models gathered for a meeting. Representing Esquire for men’s fashions are Don Martin and Frank Davies, of course. For Mademoiselle, there’s Claire Albino. Anita Chase lives in Hollywood, too, but we don’t see much of her because she’s very busy trying to raise her children on the money she makes writing poetry. You see her husband is in the United States Air Force — on the same ship, by the way, as Ed Connery and Dick Gervais. And we all thought they were six year men! | guess they did, too, poor guys. These are our predictions of future days. Whether or not they come true remains to be seen. However, wherever life may take you, whatever you do, we wish you the best of luck — always. Robert Tassie WILL OF THE CLASS OF 1959 We, the graduating class of the Springfield Trade High School, being of sound body and mind, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. To our advisers, Mrs. Triggs and Mr. Fitzgibbons, the class leaves the hope that next year they will not have to “advise.” Cynthia Connor bequeaths to Lois Vivier her most treasured possession at Trade, her place in the lunch line. David Dalton turns over the mirror in the boys’ room to Allan Rice. To the junior Radio boys, Richard Wilson leaves the pleasure of cleaning the closets in 219. Leon Abair and Bob Manegre leave Mr. Moran here at Trade. The 12? division gives Mr. Rae a ten-fo ot key chain so that he can keep track of his keys. The class of 1959 bequeaths to the class of 1960 all the rights and privileges that belong to seniors. June Arduino wills to Nancy Benedix her bottle of Alka Seltzer. It is guaranteed to produce a bubbling personality. To Mr. Brown, Bill Johnson leaves a quart of skimmed milk, compliments of the Milkman. Fred Swan wills to Jim Sullivan his 1955 soccer shoes and to Lonnie Chappel his “lucky” jersey, number 16. The boys of ‘59 leave to the junior boys their booklet, Tactics to Avoid Capture. It will assist them when they invade the corridors near the girls’ shops. To Jocko Callahan, Claire Albino bequeaths the lonely halls and the empty locker. Sweet memories! Richard Petrucci leaves to Mr. Meder his enormous Republican pin with the request that Mr. Meder wear it and parade the corridors during the next election year. _ To Miss Bransfield, Anita Chase leaves a problem, her cousin, Gloria Morin. Stephen Los leaves to Mr. Theinert a book explaining how to paint in five easy lessons. Michael Kopek wills all his broken motor parts to Frank Labier. The Radio seniors leave Mr. Stanton a box of used pencils to replace the ones that disappeared. To Jeanne Allaire, Evelyn Charter bequeaths the special privilege of cleaning the sinks in the Beauty Culture Department. Have fun, Jeannie! Bernard Paine leaves to Mr. McGibney the task of getting Peter Coté back into class. Jeri Laro wants Peggy Colapietro to have the pleasure of escorting boys to the third floor. So that his sister Mary will not have to work too hard, Joe Connolly bequeaths all his notebooks to her. Carol Raffenetti leaves Judy Delamattera her good marks. Agnes Langevin leaves the Print Shop, highly recommended, to printer(esse)s of the future. Marion Hebert, Yvette Henry, Eddie Mucha, Arthur Wolfe, and Frank Sheehan leave to Miss Gilson the fallen cakes, the sinks full of pots and pans — in short, all the worries and work of her department. Byron Bandoski wills to Thomas Meade of the Print Shop a stack of jogged paper. To Mrs. Sullivan and Mr. Henderson, who are the advisers of next year’s seniors, the class has nothing to leave but good wishes. Signed and sealed this twenty-ninth day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand, nine hundred and fifty-nine, in the City of Springfield, in the County of Hampden, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Class of 1959 10 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1959 SEPTEMBER, 1956 Here we were, the ‘59ers, at Trade High School! We longed, perhaps, then, in September 1956, for our old, familiar junior high school, but those days were over. Ahead of us lay three high school years and our goal, graduation. That first day were we more excited or impressed or bewildered? We were excited; there is no question about that. Of course, we were impressed by the faculty and our fine shops and classrooms. Above all, though, we were probably bewildered. | am sure that the seniors of those days, the class of 1957, would vouch for that. We were forever losing our- selves in our huge building; they were forever finding us and steering us on the right course. Although our first year was not at all exciting, we were proud of our school, happy to be here, and looking forward to the coming years when we should be upper classmen. SEPTEMBER, 1957 Back again, and now we were Trade’s brand new juniors. We had already completed one-third of our course. We knew our teachers and were no longer awed by the “bigness” around us. We were, in fact, old-timers, ready to start the year with a bang. Guided by Mr. Alfred Magee, representing the Student Council, and with the help of our class ad- visers, Mrs. Rita Triggs and Mr. James Fitzgibbons, we held our first class elections. We chose the fol- lowing officers: President, Emedio Maloni Vice-President, Willis Rabideau Secretary, Alice Gaudreau Treasurer, Richard Petrucci Marshals, Jo-Anne Daigle Frank Davies, Jr. Now that we were organized as a class, we looked forward to a busy, successful junior year. Our first venture was a Thanksgiving dance, the Turkey Rock, which was held in our gym on Friday evening, November twenty-second. Pat Rondinelli, a graduate of Trade, and his band were featured. We shall never forget the door prize, a live turkey! It was the attraction of the evening. Finally, with Mr. Garvey’s assistance, it was awarded to Joan Ledoux. We know that Joan will never forget that evening either. It was a very successful party, and the credit goes to our advisers and the dance committee, June Arduino, Evelyn Charter, Rubbie Thomas, Stephen Los, and David Pratt. In January, after much deliberation, we chose our class rings. They are heavy yellow gold with blue stones, very much like college rings. Our choice must have been a good one, because the Student Council voted to adopt our ring as the official one for Trade High School. Our next social event came in February, again in our gym. It was a Valentine dance, the Sweetheart Swirl, at which a King and a Queen of Hearts reigned. The Harmony Kings provided wonderful music for dancing, and an added attraction was a singing group, the Five Pals. All Trade sweethearts romanced that night. Were you there? As a relief from our shop and academic work, we are always ready at Trade to welcome good times and fun. We thoroughly enjoyed our annual Field Day in May. Our fine, generous junior boys let the freshmen win the rope pull — just to show the “fresh- ies” that they were welcome at our school. The junior girls were not so kind. They defeated the faculty men in a baseball game. Evelyn Charter was the captain of our team, and the other players were Claire Albino, June Arduino, Anita Chase, Jo-Anne Daigle, Sandra Keane, Dolores Kutzenko, Carol Raf- fenetti, and Connie Work. Big-hearted, again — the victors do not want us to name the defeated men in this, our history. We decided that May would be a good time to elect the officers who would lead us through our senior year. These candidates were successful: President, Arthur McKenna Vice-President, Douglas Chevalier Secretary, Alice Gaudreau Treasurer, Richard Petrucci Marshals, June Arduino Richard Gervais SEPTEMBER, 1958 Very important people we were —-SENIORS! With great enthusiasm and good intentions we began our final year. Early in October we observed Freshie Day when we welcomed the newcomers to our school. Mrs. Simes directed the senior girls in a skit, a paraphrase of “Volare,” written by June Arduino and Anita Chase. The girls also led the audience in serenading our new students. Again we danced! This time it was the Harvest Hop. Always kind and generous, we treated everyone to refreshments. Graduation seemed very close when our executive board reported that the Brown Studio had been selected to take our class pictures. Then came the sittings — either in the portable studio which was set up in the girls’ gym or at the studio downtown. Soon afterwards we had our proofs, and our pictures were ready before Christmas. We were all very well satis- fied. Before the holidays we gave our treasury a boost by selling Christmas corsages. The sale was a huge success. Our customers were pleased, and we were also. Christmas came and went and New Year's, too. Before we realized that vacation could be over, we were back at school and deep in the business of class ballots, a will, a prophecy — in short, everything that should go into our yearbook. Our advisers pleaded for the material. The teachers in charge of the yearbook threatened, “If you want your year- books before graduation, you had better . . .!’ We are trying to meet the deadlines, however, and are hoping for our books before graduation. Now, at the end of January, we are looking for- 11 ward to our class luncheons Wednesday and Thurs- 12 day, the fourth and fifth of February. If only our tea room were big enough to accommodate all of us at once! We are having frosted fruit juice, roast turkey with all the ‘fixin’s,” and deep-dish apple pie 4 la mode. Doesn't that menu sound delicious? We can hardly wait! Our prom and banquet will be Thursday evening, May seventh, in the main ballroom of the Sheraton- Kimball. Soon afterwards will come our Class Day. Com- mittees are planning that now. There will probably be an assembly at which we shall present a play featuring the highlights of our career. Afterwards we shall plant our ivy. For many of us Class Day will mark the end of our years at Trade. About May fifteenth those of us who have jobs in our trades are permitted to go to work. Usually only a few seniors remain at school until June. On the evening of June eighth we will all be pres- ent at the Municipal Auditorium for our graduation. After having waited three long years for that time, we are beginning now to think of after-graduation. We know that we shall often recall our wonderful days at Trade High. We shall never forget our ad- visers, Mrs. Triggs and Mr. Fitzgibbons; Mr. Garvey and the rest of the faculty; and our many good friends in the other classes. They made our stay at Trade pleasant and memorable. We hope that they will miss us a little bit and think of us often.

We're so glad we came; Knowledge was our aim, So much to be gained. We found Trade to be the tops. We learned in every shop How to earn our way; Each and every day Effort was to pay. Verse: Now our class is ready to depart From all that we held in heart; Each friend so true will start his life anew, And we will be apart. Chorus: But, though we say goodbye to alll, We always can recall Our days that went too fast And memories of the past, Trade’s ‘59 class. Anita M. Chase CLASS SONG (TUNE: CHILDREN’S MARCHING SONG) Senior Class, you have one, One more month to have some fun. Come on, Seniors! Take it on the run; Your school days are almost done. Senior Class, you have two, Too few days to stay in school. Come on, Seniors! Take it on the run; Your school days are almost done. Senior Class, you have three, Three years here — now time is near. Come on, Seniors! Take it on the run; Your school days are almost done. Senior Class, you have four, Four events and then no more. Come on, Seniors! Take it on the run; Your school days are almost done. Senior Class of ‘59 Senior Class, you have five Basket men that were alive. Come on, Seniors! Take it on the run; Your school days are almost done. Senior Class, you have six, Six marks to pass or else it’s nix. Come on, Seniors! Take it on the run; Your school days are almost done. Senior Class, you have seven, Seven teachers, not eleven. Come on, Seniors! Take it on the run; Your school days are almost done. Senior Class, you have eight, The time is eight that you graduate. Come on, Seniors! Take it on the run; Your school days are almost done. You’re the best class of all time. Come on, Seniors! Take it on the run; Your school days are really done. June E. Arduino 13 CLASS POEM 1959 Graduation this year Has made us all proud; Trade Seniors are walking On a silver-lined cloud. We give grateful thanks For their loyalty true To our parents and friends, Who have all helped us through. The memories of Trade High We'll treasure through life, The days that were pleasant, The few that held strife. We've now reached our goal; ‘Twas not easily done, But we know it was worth it, For the battle is won. ANITA M.

The Beavers met Pittsfield on the Trade field and were beaten. Trade faced a city rival in Classical on October 4 and turned them back 12 to 6. Enfield was the next victim 28 to 0. Commerce Red Raiders were downed 26 to 0, then Drury 24 to 8. Worcester Classical was sent home with a bowed head as the Beavers ran and passed to a 22 to 6 victory. The next two proved sad for Trade with losses of not only the games but also tackle Larry Landry for the rest of the season. The Beavers closed the season with a fine 5-3 record. Tackles Landry and Jacques, and end Williams were chosen for the All City team, with Williams also placing on Western Mass. Larry Landry’s terrific play in all games won him the annual Norman Dagenais Trophy.

BASKETBALL The Beavers opened their season with an impressive win over Holyoke Catholic with Co-Captain Willie Williams scoring 30 points. The next four were also wins over Cathe- dral, Stafford Springs, Tech and Dalton. The next game proved to be a loss when Commerce squeezed out a 6 point victory. Against weak Searles High, Brace and Williams combined to gather 44 points between them. On January 16 Classical emerged as victor in a close battle. The tide turned in the next 2 games as Trade beat Holyoke Catholic and Cathedral by good margins with Don Martin playing good ball. New Bedford pulled an upset but Trade bounced back to beat Classical in their second encounter. Swiftly Dalton, Tech, Searles and Stafford Springs went down to defeat. In the Stafford game Brace bombed 29 points. The next game, a crucial one for the race leadership proved too much for the Eager Beavers when the Red Raiders knocked them out of the race. The season’s record was 12 wins, 5 losses.

HOCKEY : Hockey season was highly successful for the Beavers with an over all record of 9 wins, 5 losses and 2 ties, and a league record of 8 wins, 2 losses and 2 ties. Auburn ac- counted for 2 of the 5 losses in the beginning of the season. However Trade easily handled Tech, squeaked by Classical and West Springfield and traveled to New Haven to conquer Amity Regional. An important feat of this part of the season was Jan Sadowski’s stunt of 5 goals in the West Springfield game which gave Trade undisputed hold on first place. Trade tamed Cathedral and Tech, and sent the Classical Bulldogs scampering home to their dog houses. West Springfield forfeited its game with Trade next, but the victory streak ended at the hands of Cathedral, who later in the season also upended the classy Beavers. Trade represented this part of the state as sectional champ in the tournament in Boston, met Norwood and succumbed to that strong and fierce club.
