Hello, Trade High! We are your seniors, And we’re here to say Goodbye, so long, farewell. You’ve all been “swell,” teachers; Taught us well, teachers; You have led us; You have helped us; You have shown the way. Class O, it’s been great fun, But now the time’s come For all our days at dear old Trade To finally end—so— Let’s be brave, seniors, Go out and face that world, seniors. We are going to miss you all so much, And we hope you'll try to keep in touch; We’ve enjoyed these years so very much at Trade. Linda Poirier, 1965 (Apologies—Hello, Dolly) Our Farewell Song Suddenly it’s over! How the years have flown! And with fondness we remember The joys that we have known. We came here as youngsters With hearts full of fears, But what we have learned here Will help us for years. Our teachers’ good counsel —That most times we hated— Now we know was important And NOT so outdated. Now we are young adults With a full life ahead; With God’s help we’ll succeed Whatever highway we tread. For we have been taught, And we have been trained; Our teachers worked hard With our limited brains. Now as the day comes, And it’s time we must part, We hope that Trade High School Keeps us in “her heart.” And remember us kindly ; For always we'll strive To make her real proud Of “Nineteen-sixty-five.” Carol Stromwall Needle Trades

Athlete His high school athletic record as a Tech High star athlete still remains as he was the only athlete ever to win 14 major awards. The athletic career at Springfield College con- sisted of being a star halfback on the football team for three years against outstanding opponents; and a star shortstop on the baseball team for three years. His record of 11 consecutive hits still stands. On December 12, 1954, Ted was honored at a testimonial in recognition of twenty years of coach- ing; in attendance were about 300 friends. In 1958 his basketball team lost a close game to Pittsfield High School in the Western Mass. Tournament semi-finals. The team’s regular season record was 17 wins and 1 loss. At Trade High School banquets, the Coach is introduced as the man who tackled Jim Thorpe from behind when the Carlisle Indians played at Springfield College, (That was in 1912). Or, for a variation, he might be called a member of James Naismith’s first basketball team. (That was in 1893). The football team in 1962 defeated Pittsfield High School 8-6 under the lights in Pittsfield; Tackled Jim Thorpe? Gentleman Down Memory Lane Teacher CR Es SD yu DANER HL it was the end of a 24 game winning streak cover- ing a period of 4 years. Admiral B. Plumb is an enthusiastic fisherman and spends a great deal of his summer vacation aboard his 16 foot yacht which sleeps four. In 1964, an award called the “Ted Plumb” award was perpetuated by the Unico Club of Springfield. This annual award will go to the outstanding football player in one of the city’s high schools. The 1962 football team had an outstanding record; its only defeat was to Enfield High School in the closing minutes of the game. The “Norman Dagenais” award is the finale to the yearly football season as it is given to the outstanding Trade High School football player. This award is in memory of an excellent Trade High School player who gave his life in the Ko- rean Conflict. Since 1934, Coach Ted Plumb has had many outstanding athletes perform under him; it would be an injustice to single out only a few; there- fore, we salute all of the players of the past 31 years, Could be!
