President's Message The time to say farewell has arrived. As we look back through the years spent at Trade High, we cannot adequately express our gratitude for the train- ing we have received. We must thank our administration, our teachers and our counselors for working so hard with us. Without their guidance, friendship and understanding, we could not have secured a strong foundation for a success- ful future. As a class, we are indebted to those of our members who have given un- selfishly of their time and effort. Especially do | wish to thank the officers and committee members who have loyally assisted me in the execution of my duties as president. Their combined efforts and the leadership of our advisors have made this Senior Year of 1963 a ''Year to Remember. A very special word of thanks must go to the ones who have given the most — our parents. Without their love, understanding and encouragement, it would have been impossible for us to have spent these many years in school. Through their efforts we have been able to obtain the training needed to over- come the many problems which lie ahead. Now comes the time when we must put to use the knowledge and skills which we have acquired. On the foundation we have received, we must build a successful and rewarding life. We know that in these troubled times this will not be easy. We realize that most serious problems now confront all mankind, and that if we, as Americans, wish to continue as free men, we must find ways to solve these problems. We must continue to learn from the lessons of the past; we must work to fill the demands of the present; and we must dedicate ourselves to the challenge of a worthy future. Peter Maloni Class President — 1963 11

Class History The Class of 1963 entered Springfield Trade High School in September of 1960 filled with anticipation and eagerness. We found many interested members of the faculty and student body who were glad to help and encour- age us as we prepared for three years of industrious work. The vast and beautiful building filled us with awe, and some of us became lost as we made ‘our way through the many well equipped shops and laboratories. We were greatly impressed by the magnificently presented Student Association as- sembly, which displayed graphically the many activities in which we would be privileged to participate during our exciting stay at Trade High. We soon became members of the co-operative Trade High School family, participating efficiently in all school activities. Mr. James J. Fitzgibbons, our sponsor, sup- ervised our class election of the officers for our Junior year, and soon June brought to a close our first year at Trade High School. We were happy to return in September, 1961. A feeling of contentment surged through us as we walked through the familiar corridors and greeted our faculty friends and class members. We soon organized as the Junior Class under the leadership of Mr. John J. Fortsch, with the following officers: President, Milton Kidder Vice President, Robert Genander Secretary, Laurie Hoyt Treasurer, Jamie Bisceglia Marshals, Sandra Osgood, Edward Aldrich This competent group was aided by a large number of hard working members of the Steering Committee. Our first dance was a great success, and constituted an innovation, because square dancing was featured. We sold candy at Christmas as a class fund-raising project, and the Senior Class as- sisted our treasury with their sale of St. Patrick's Day favors. Our Junior year was most notable in the history of Springfield Trade High School because it marked the Golden Anniversary of Vocational Educa- tion in Springfield. We made plans under the direction of Mr. Garvey, our principal, to honor the person responsible for the construction of our present beautiful school. It was decided that an oil painting of the Honorable Roger L. Putnam, Mayor of Springfield at the time our outstanding school plant was constructed, should be presented to him as a tribute and indication of our esteem. The annual Trade High School Open House, when our magnificent physical plant is opened for public inspection, and hundreds of interested citi- zens stream through our portals to admire the outstanding exhibits of work accomplished during the year, was chosen as the occasion for this presentation. The Auditorium was filled to capacity, and the platform guests included many dignitaries. Mr. Garvey gave a talk outlining former Mayor Putnam's contri- butions to Vocational Education in Springfield, and the presentation of the oil portrait to Mr. Putnam was made by two members of our class, Miss Sheila Peabody and Alfred Ingham. 13
