FOREWORD More than ever before in our lives or in our country’s his- tory, we are under a pressure that will not and must not diminish until our job is done. The future of the world de- pends upon our generation. It is we who sail the ships, maneuver the tanks, and pilot the bombers of today; and it is we who will be the creators of tomorrow. We stress, in Technical High School, the value of time. With this great task before us, we have no time to waste in preparation. We have endeavored, in our year book, to ex- emplify this with the signs of the times as our theme. Today, history is being made with every tick of the clock. Our story will be recorded in the annals of eternity. Let’s make it a glorious one. Wesson C.

ALEPH OLIVER MR. ARTHUR WOODWORTH HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF JANUARY, 1943 As the class of January, 1943, we fearfully walked into the huge Tech auditorium on the morning of January 29, 1940. At this moment we can’t remember whether it was a bitter cold, snowy day or not. Here Colonel Adams welcomed us and made all 380 of us feel that we were pretty important whether the rest of the school realized it or not. The next few weeks were filled with wonder and bewilderment and didn’t seem to prove how really important we were. The first of our group to be recognized were the girls when they were initiated by the G. A. A. at a St. Patrick’s party. Each girl was dressed like a colleen and they made very cute ones, too. A few weeks later we were officially recognized when five of our members were elected to represent us in the Student Council. They were Joyce Hathaway, Jacqueline Hebert, Edward Prew, Ted Pappadakis and Norman Dupre. The first chapter in our life at Tech passed uneventfully and very soon we were looking ahead to class elections and our social. Before these plans were started there was a great change in our life at Tech. Colonel Adams left Tech and Mr. Kiley, the former assistant principal, was our new leader. Mr. Gifford came to fill the position of assistant principal. The first time our class was assembled together was September 9 to start our govern- ment. Here we met our class advisers, Miss Jackson and Mr. Oliver, and our class auditor, Mr. Woodworth. The results of our election were Robert Knowles, president; Shirley Marsh, vice-president; Philip Lewis, secretary; Frank Vey, treasurer; William Ford, Ann Burns and Donald Barrus, members-at-large. Others in our class entered in political life when Eddie Prew was elected president of the Junior Pro Merito and Rowena Shattuck, vice-president. In the girls’ department, Pauline Nordstrom was elected secretary of the G. A. A. On October 31 the school was dismissed for about an hour to see President Franklin D. Roosevelt as he passed down State Street, a sight we shall never forget. Our first step into the social life was on the afternoon of November 8 in the boys’ gym. Prescott Grout was chairman of the social committee. Suddenly it was 1941. We were juniors and waiting for the first unforgettable Tech- nicade, which was to be in March. Elections for various groups were held again. In the Junior Pro Merito Edward Prew was re-elected president and Cleo Megas, treasurer. In G. A. A., Dorothy Price was elected treasurer. Not satisfied with just the social and political life, some of our members decided to try drama, very successfully we must say. In April “What a Life” was presented and the lead- ing character of the famous Henry Aldrich was played by James Mitton. Our other mem- bers were Jane Balboni and Donald Doyle. Were we proud of them! In May we really entered Tech society by presenting our first semi-formal dance. It was called. “The Merry May Madcap.” Shirley Marsh was chairman of the committee. Here for the first time our class banner of blue and gold was seen. 1 9 4 5 Here we were at the halfway mark in our life at Tech. Now some of our members who had worked so hard in their writing began to be noticed. Dorothy Price was appointed girls’ sports editor for Tech News. Other special edit ors were Gloria Metcalfe, Philip Lewis, and Pauline Nordstrom. As for clubs, we certainly were represented. In Hi-Y, Wesson Miller was elected presi- dent; Robert Knowles, vice-president; and Richard Nims, treasurer. In Nisimaha, Cleo Megas was elected vice-president. Some of our intellectual members represented us in Pro Merito —especially Edward Prew as president; Cleo Megas, vice-president; and Carmelo Scuderi, treasurer. In October, our second election was held. The results were president, Wesson Miller; vice-president, Shirley Marsh; secretary, Rowena Shattuck; treasurer, John Murphy; Student Council, Betty Whitman and Robert Knowles; members-at-large, Gloria Metcalfe, Dorothy Price, and Richard Nims. Elections out of the way, we opened the 1941 fall social season at Tech with a combined dance with the 12B’s. It was called “Harvest Harmony.” Our co-chairman was Shirley Marsh. On December 7, Pearl Harbor was attacked. No one could tell then what a great change it would bring in all our lives. Again some of us entered drama when in January “Connecticut Yankee” was presented. Jane Balboni and Gloria Metcalfe represented us. Here it was 1942 and we were seniors at last. For the first time since 1911 in the history of Tech there was no 10B class entering because the mid-year promotion was gradually being abolished. With the beginning of a new semester, changes were brought about. In Tech News, Pauline Nordstrom and Philip Lewis became associate editors. In Student Council, Pauline Nordstrom became secretary. In Nisimaha, Pauline was elected president and Rowena Shat- tuck, secretary. Shirley Marsh became the photography editor of the “Tech Tiger.” In March, for the first time in Tech, there was a talent show. The newly organized Tech Swing band under the direction of Wesson Miller won and refused the first prize. Others in our class participating were Jane Balboni and Ernest Loiselle, both singers. This was the semester for revealing unknown talents in our class. Rosellen O’Brien wrote a poem about a little English girl, which was published in the Red Cross magazine. In the following month, April, there were presented three short plays, long to be remem- bered. A comedy, “Spreading the News;” a real old-fashioned melodrama, ‘“Hounded by Hate,” and a drama, “The Valiant.” Our actors were James Mitton and Jane Balboni. Here again another change was brought about. Mr. Woodworth was called to duty with the U. S. Army, so Mr. Mador became our Class auditor. Being very partriotic, we called our dance this year “The Good Neighbor Hop.” It was given in May under the co-chairmen Dorothy Price and James Mitton. Seeing that many events happened for the first time in Tech history during our stay, we decided to do it again. For the first time in several years a girl was appointed editor-in- chief of Tech News, our own Pauline, while Philip Lewis became business manager. As we arrived at our last semester and looked around, we were surprised to see how small our class had become, as many had joined the services, quit school to go to work, or were automatically deferred. Here we were on top of the ladder and should go around with a superior air; but we were just as bewildered as the freshmen! First, school opened at 8:30. Then the opening was changed to 9:15, and changed once more to 9:00. Seeing that we weren’t yet thrown off balance, they decided to change everything: Subjects, periods, program, lunch time, and anything else they could think of. Finally we were settled and could think straight. We discovered Mr. Butler was our new class auditor, as Mr. Mador had been called into service. Gradually we began to do the usual things. For instance, in Nisimaha, Pauline Nord- strom was elected president with Marilyn St. Peter, vice-president, and Cleo Megas, secretary. In Pro Merito, Edward Prew was again elected president and Cleo Megas, vice-president. In the senior Hi-Y, Wesson Miller was elected president. In the Student Association drive we broke all previous records with a membership of 97%. We wanted to be first in everything, even in school spirit. Our class dance in October was appropriately called “Final Fling.” This last social voyage of ours was captained by Shirley Marsh. This done, we seniors started to have our class pictures taken under the supervision of Mary Esposito and Carmelo Scuderi. Then the senior girls came into the spotlight when they started the fad of car rying their school books in bags. A short skit showing this idea was given, our actors being Jane Balboni, Betty Whitman, and Gloria Metcalfe. Although we have mentioned many of our prominently active members, we haven’t men- tioned those who may be remembered the longest. Those are the boys who took part in the Tech sport life: Robert Knowles, Gene Papi- neau, Richard Daley, Sherrod Shaw, and Walter Kravitz. Although we have undergone a great many changes in our life at Tech, we have been anxiously waiting for the greatest change of all—graduation and the other final activities. The dates of each and the committee chairmen of each are as follows: Prom, January 22—Marilyn St. Peter and John Murphy, Chairmen. Banquet, January 27—Cleo Megas and Prescott Grout, Chairmen. Ballot—Dorothy Price. Prophecy—Robert Knowles. Will—Dorothy Muldrew. CLASS HISTORY COMMITTEE We of this last group respectfully submit this document.

Witnesses: Dorothy Price, Elaine McBride. PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF JANUARY, 1943 Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of our class’s place in a distant year; These are the things you’re going to do Perhaps nineteen hundred and fifty-two. ’Twas graduation day and all through the school The Seniors were stirring, and I like a fool Was running around like a headless hen, Up to the third floor and back down again, Racing through the halls, when I suddenly skidded. Now don’t look that way, you’re not being kidded. I hit on my head and was knocked plumb out, And when I awakened I looked all about For a familiar face and one did I spy. ’Twas Joe Demos who came hurrying by. A baby doc now, and on a rush call To the orphan home where we were met in the hall By Cleo Megas, the Supervisor, And Irene Sajdak, the Child Adviser. The home was run by two smart gals, Who all their lives had been good pals. They’d made their million at twenty-one. And started a model orphanage for fun. Ro Shattuck is one and you should meet her. The other’s our friend, Marilyn St. Peter. Ann Burns is in charge of the gym, And that guy hanging ’round, well, you know him, For where’er Ro went I always saw None other than friend Sherry Shaw. Bill Ford is the guy that keeps the place clean. And Gerry Briggs can usually be seen Teaching in one of the various halls. Teaching how to make better spit balls. Psychologist Wes Miller studies the brain, And I hope you people will please refrain From making remarks about his own We know his head is solid bone. I finally tore myself away, For I wanted to see more that day. I walked a ways down the street, And whom, do you think, I should happen to meet? None other than former Army lads, And all of them Tech High grads, Bob Hunt, Ernie Brown, just to mention a few, Ernie Johnson, Earl Jaycox, Ernie Nasman, too. Coming from the other side were former Navy boys, And when the Army saw the Navy, wow! what a noise, John Murphy, Prescott Grout, all good Navy men, Bob McKinney, Carm Scuderi, looked around and then. .. . Nope, they didn’t fight but shook hands instead, And “nodded in agreement when Wally Kravitz said, “Let’s go to the football game and see the Pansies play. They’re matched against the Terrible Tempered Tigers today; Dick Daley coaches one and Papineau the other, And Uncle Gene’s son is playing and he’s just like his father.” So off they left me and, alone again, I was stopped by some studious looking men; Bill Schmetzer and Dick Norris, a couple of engineers, Working on a problem and practically in tears. They were trying to fix a little clamp atop a metal pole And were using a square peg and a little round hole. Rog Chapman and Eddie Prew tried to help them out, Worked on it for a while then began to rave and shout. The noise drew Red Nordstrom and her friend, Dot Muldrew, And the solution of the problem was just like two and two. They fixed it with a hairpin then went on their ways, And the engineers just stood there in a sort of daze. They were almost knocked down by a miniature hurricane, But ’twas only Phil Lewis chasing Pauline again. I walked along until I came to the railroad station, A freight train had just arrived at its destination, And Fudge Celori and Marino Spadoni got off, or should I say, Go out from under, because they travel that way. The freight was raw rubber from Vredenburg’s plantation, Charley lives in South America ’cause he doesn’t like this nation; He just sits back and bosses while the natives do the work And to think we thought he’d always be a jerk. I came to a little house and when I looked inside, I saw Don Lake, the Chem teacher’s pride. He was mixing acid, TNT, and six-leaf clover, When suddenly, BANG! That’s Don all over. I was badly hurt, and coming on the run Was Doctor Fred Walmer; then I knew I was done. I had given up and was ready to die, When a beam of sunlight struck my eye. I looked all around and there I lay In the halls of Tech, dazed but okay. I wasn’t screwy, not off the beam, The whole thing was only a prophet’s dream. —Bob Knowles.

WARREN, JOHN DAWSON 34 Allen Street HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF JUNE, 1943 We Came, We Saw, We Conquered It was a quiet morning in September, 1940, that 350 bewildered freshmen of varied shapes and sizes, all intent on success, but at the same time trying to remain unseen, entered the doors of Tech. Yet, could they have seen the future, their embarrassment would have vanished, for this was our class of ’43. e After looking over our assembled ranks, Colonel Adams prophesied our future success and happy days ahead. In this way we started our three-year stay at Tech. Our first year was uneventful except for acquainting ourselves with the school, its customs, the faculty, and our fellow students. At our first class meeting, versatile Jimmie Adams was elected president from among a keen lot of candidates. His fellow partner-in-crime was Bob Lamitie who took on his shoulders the duties of vice-president. Virginia Pickard was to take class notes as our secretary. For the high finances of our class treasury, we bestowed the title of treasurer on “Honest” Ray Metzger. The first act of our slate ot officers was to appoint a committee to draw up a class constitution for our three years at Tech. Our first meeting in the second year was on September 23, 1942. The constitution committee read the constitution, and it fulfilled our highest hopes. At this meeting Ruth Baxter, Edward Hamilton, and Jack MacCormack were elected members-at-large. Our class advisors, , Mrs. Dodge and Mr. Greenaway were introduced with our class auditor, Mr. Maynard. After a vote, our members selected for our color combination, Dartmouth-green and white. These were to be the colors under which we would perform. Our peaceful life was shattered when on December 7, 1941 the United States was plunged into war. Immediately our lives took on a new degree of solemnity and our class buckled down to the job of self-preparation to aid the program of the war. We held our first dance a week after Pearl Harbor. Lurid posters were seen in conspicuous parts of the building advertising the “Kris-Kringle-Hop.” The dance was sport as could be seen by the sport coats and the skirts and sweaters. The affair was socially a huge success, and for many days after “Honest” Ray could be seen rubbing calloused palms in glee. About this time the casual watcher could observe the increasing amount of slack-clad legs swishing down the halls and after wisely dividing this number by two would come to the conclusion that slacks were rapidly becoming the fad. A second glance at the downcast expres- sions on the features of our deserving males would convey a feeling that perhaps all was not in harmony. Then from our midst stepped six lads, each possessing more spirit than ammonia. _They appeared one fall morning attired in skirts of the latest fashion. Although their promi- nence was short-lived, their efforts had not been in vain, for slacks were worn by the males only for many weeks. A quiet settled over the school, but fortunately we had in our ranks a man of talented thoughts. This man was Bob Lockerby, and he brought his mind to bear on the problem; thus the Royal Order of Tech Wolves was formed. The organization issued membership badges and was supported by an auxiliary called The Wolfettes. After much fun and profit the organization lapsed into dormancy, having fulfilled its purpose. We held our second dance in May, 1942. It was called the May I Dance. It was a sport affair-and the sport coats were more livid than ever before. Everyone had a wonderful time and frequently you can hear members of the class say, “Remember the fun we had at the May I Dance?” Soon our class became interested in the formation of a school store to supply such direly needed materials as notebooks, pens, pencils, and even car tickets. After deliberation the Student Council, headed so ably by our members, accepted the proposal and another feather was added to our hat. Not content with one good idea, we began to search for a method to distinguish our mem- bers. One of our brilliant students dug deep and came up with the plan for the class hat. Therefore crew hats of Dartmouth-green and white were donned with the traditional class armbands. At our class election we again elected Jimmie Adams, president, and Bill Courchene, vice- president. Virginia Pickard and Ken Turner were elected to fill the positions of secretary and treasurer and we were satisfied with our members-at-large. On April 30, 1943 we held a dance bearing the title of May Fantasy. At this dance was inaugurated the idea of having a May Queen. Dotty Myers was cr owned by Mr. Kiley and a thoroughly enjoyable evening was had by all. This time “Cautious” Ken rubbed his palms in a manner disheartening to all but Ken. Our class day was a scene of merriment tinged with regret, because we knew the time to part was rapidly approaching. Pictures neatly autographed were exchanged with notes enclosed. Bob Kervick, the class magician and jester, soon had his doubting audience rolling in the aisles. Other clowning acts were invented and collectively we filled the halls with the pleasant drone of laughter and light-hearted chatter. Some of us met at the class banquet for the last time, but it was natural for all of us to dig up old memories and live once more the newer ones. It was fitting that we should pledge friend- ship and promise not to break the connecting links and to wish each other good luck and fortune in the years to come. Many of the boys were ready to leave for the service and the girls would aid the country in some other way. After reading the class Ballot, Prophecy, Will, and History, we parted company. Some of us would never be seen again and others would keep their friends for life. There surely was a lump in the throat of every one of us, for this was the sorrow of parting. Many couldn’t attend the Senior Promenade. Thus with the guidance of Mr. Kiley and Mr. Gifford, the faculty, and our class advisors, we graduated; the Class of 1943, Technical High School. Respectfully submitted, Frank Brackett Virginia Pickard Doris Johnson Richard Ralston William Powers WILL OF CLASS OF 1943 We, the class of June 1943 of Technical High School, Springfield, Massachusetts, being of sound mind and body, make this our last will and testament. We appoint as executors of this will our worthy advisers, Mrs. Dodge, Mr. Greenaway, and Mr. Maynard. Article I.

In testimony whereof, we, the representatives of the class of Technical High School, June, 1943, have hereunto set our hands and seals this 24th day of April, 1943. John Bragg Neal Templeton ‘Witnessed by June Long Robert Lock PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF JUNE 1943 Twas in the year 1990 and old Cap’n Willie Willis was spinning the following yarn to his cronies: “Back in the year 1953 I was diving for an old sunken ship. On the bottom of the ocean I ran into the prettiest under-water city you ever did see. Walking around, I was astonished to see many of my old classmates from Tech, the class of June 1943. I questioned some of them, but none could tell me how they had got to Water Town. Many of my friends had become successful business men, and among them was Art Christian- son, the founder and president of the Christianson Crispy Crunchy Cracker Co., which was supposed to be the best sea-biscuit in town. James Powers was the famed inventor of a new type of airplane that flew entirely by sneeze- power, a remarkable invention. I walked along and could hardly believe my eyes. I stepped into the highest building that I had ever seen, which had been designed by the famous engineer, Thomas Baer, and found behind the main desk Al Lalonde, editor-in-chief of the biggest magazines out, Esquire and Harper’s Bazaar. Millions of clerks were running wearily around trying to keep up with his dynamic ideas; but in one noisy corner I spied Rosemary Gallagher, still quietly thinking of nothing in particular, but providing the touch of peace for those who wanted it. Suddenly, in dashed Beatrice Markham with a long teletype message streaming after her. Clayton Roberts had done it again! He had been teaching eight classes in four periods and developing a new radio station in his spare moments. In another room I spotted Jimmy Adams, president of twelve inter-locking directorates, hur- riedly looking over his appointment pad to see which committee meeting he must attend first. Deciding that it must be the one on rubber stamp books, he tore out just in time to bump into George Houghton, who ran after him, crying, “Vote for me, the people’s choice; please vote for me for dog-catcher!”’ Another surprise came when President Adams finally made his way out of the building. He met Bob Windholz, who was trying to get a gang together to go somewhere. He had suc- ceeded in rounding up Rita Bliss and Betty Pickrell; they were in the back seat of his car , knitting sox for the Red Cross and discussing the latest gossip about Bob Lockerby, who had again astounded the public by his back-stage inventions. Also an inventor was Harvey Willard, whose new super-speed super XXY camera was so remarkable that a completely developed color picture shot out as soon as the shutter was clicked. At the same time a voice musically said, “Deposit five cents, please.’’ Edward Dobiecki, and John Lenville were coaching the city’s elementary school football team. Beano Turner, head scoutmaster, was conversing with Neal Templeton, who was minister of the Church of the Unity, about some very confidential matters. Benny Benson, head of the Benson and Anderson firm, was having trouble with Dot Pease and her newly-formed air line. Dot had stolen all of Benny’s trucking business. George Chones and Bob Wells had formed the Chones and Wells Old Parts Co. Rose Tavernier, Marie LePain, Beatrice Beaumier, and Shirley Eastman were waitresses at the Sour Pear Hall. I saw sauntering by everybody’s friend, Ray Metzger, alias Babe, with one on each arm. Inside the “sane” asylum, Francis Canning, city building inspector, walked along the corri- dor and bumped into Olive Salls, who was now head nurse, running the hospital ip her quiet systematic way with her assistant, Virginia Hassner. Olive agreed to accompany Francis on his tour of inspection. On entering one of the rooms, he recognized a familiar figure hunched over a desk. It was George Wolfert, who was still working on a theory of perpetual motion, and his work had got the best of him. As he left the building, Francis turned around in time to see Maria Pruefer hurry down the hall with a glass of water for Richard Downey Bill Courchene, the great research chemist, had just won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. When he turned the fifty thousand dollars over to charity, his old friends were amazed. Dave Hunter and Bob Lamitie were his able assistants. As I continued on my way, I noticed a billboard advertising the next wrestling bout at Madi- son Circle Gardens, featuring Evelyn Warner as announcer, Jack McCormick as referee, and Crusher Omartian versus the Mighty Moses. The star enthusiast was Phil Clinton, Dean of Coo-Coo College. His assistant, Edgar Douglas, accompanied him. At the next corner I met Marjorie Nix, world tennis champion, who was giving free less ons in strokes to her neighborhood proteges. Helping her was Warren Khitikian, the town’s favorite ladies’ recreational sports director. I went into the Lilliput Theater, which was managed by Al Valentine. The feature was a stage show in which Robert Kervick, the famous magician, made Birdman Allen disappear. He hasn’t been seen since then. Of no less importance was the great character actress, Cynthia Bogdonoff, who had the reputation of never looking the same twice in a row. John Bragg was raising stringless string beans, noiseless radishes, tearless onions, and peer- less potatoes at the outskirts of Water Town. His planter was Henry Libby. Ed Hamilton had gained prominence as the town’s leading doctor. His patients included June Longueil and Joyce Leavenworth, who had been rescued from a deserted island. Packy Larson was the able politician and mayor. His dynamic personality had won him the title of “the little man of dynamite.” “Cute” Russell Cummings, the renowned actor who left the screen to manage a candy shop, had returned to Hollywood to play the lead in “The Return of the Lone Wolf.” By speculation, LeRoy Chamberlain had become very rich. He had been nicknamed ‘‘Golden Boy Roy.” Claiming that Superman had nothing on him, Stanley Root had jumped from the sixteenth floor of his office to a nearby building. When he regained consciousness his first words were, “Who moved the building?” Lee Swindlehurst had written a book entitled ‘The Dark Night, or Who Done It.” It was so blood-chilling that it could not be sold to children under twenty or adults over thirty. Bill Ellis, the King of Swing, broadcast over station AWOL every Wednesday at 3 A. M. Janet Simons was a home economics teacher. She taught the girls to make biscuits that won’t bounce. Dorothy Opitz had become a leading figure in science. Her studies on the brain reveal that the brain is usually missing in the most brilliant people. She claimed that they can think better without it. Ruth Baxter, Number One debutante, had eloped with Mr. I. M. Strong of the Bingling Brothers Circus. Their home was a tent. Shirley Clark, the woman in white, had recently been promoted to the Pill Department at the General Hospital. Jean McNeil, famous explorer, had left for the deepest interior of Africa in search for a left-handed monkey. And with a deep sigh, Cap’n Willis’s yarn was finished.

Secretary: Ruth Baxter “To insure student equality, uphold co-operation between school and student body, promote school activities, and create a more substantial school spirit.” The preceding lines were taken from the preamble of the Technical High School Student Council Con- stitution. The Student Council has tried to maintain and fulfill this pledge. The following are a few of the major accomplishments of the body for the year 1943. It started off by securing the old library as a permanent council room. This room has been decorated with Tech trophies and Tech banners. It introduced a new system by which non-athletic awards are to be made. It combined membership with the Student Association, thus giving students equal financial standing in the Association. It drew up a model constitution to be presented to each incoming freshman class for acceptance, revision, or rejection. It secured a hundred-dollar loan from the Student Association with which to open and operate a school store. It accepted Tech clubs and organizations and awarded them charters. It sponsored a Red Cross drive. It took up collections among the student body to finance a special Tech News issue which was sent to all Tech Alumni in the Armed Forces. It sold War Bonds and Stamps. It took a hand in forming an interschool student council organization. Thus we, the members of the Council, feel that we have, in part, done our duty in making Tech a better school in which to work.

GIRLS’ SPORTS For many reasons, such as shortened daylight hours, lengthened school-days, requests for students to use busses before rush hours, and after-school work by many students, there has been little activity in the girls’ gym after school hours. There is, however, one brand-new organization that is taking the place of the sport program of former years. This was started around the first of the new year and is called the Cadet Corps. The Corps is divided into two branches: the Gym Cadet Corps and the Office Cadet Corps. The duties are numerous and require a certain amount of skill. Gym cadets sometimes take charge of classes at the beginning of the periods, directing the girls and squad leaders through attendance checking and then on to the marching drills. They assist in demonstrating and teaching various activities of the gymnasium program. This makes it possible for large classes to be handled efficiently by Miss Whittemore and Mrs. Rounds. | Office cadets’ duties are just what their name implies: specifically, they check attendance, keep records straightened, do typing and filing, issue and count towels, and generally act as receptionists in the office during the periods they are there. Qualifications: Both cadet groups must maintain a B+ or better in gym work and satisfactory marks in all other subjects. Gym cadets must show marked skill in gym activities such as games, stunts, marching, and rhythm work. They must be regular in attendance, neat in appearance, dependable, and have an ability to command in a pleasant, firm manner and voice. Office cadets must have a free period, enjoy the work, and do it efficiently. An ability to type is an advantage, but not a necessity. Dependability and the gift of knowing how to meet people are also essential. Cadets, especially gym cadets, are chosen by Miss Whittemore and Mrs. Rounds on a basis of the aforementioned qualifications. Girls are carefully studied in class before being asked to join the Corps. Gym cadets meet each Monday during the lunch period for training and practice. Office cadets join the gym cadets one Monday a month for a joint meeting. At present, there are about fifty cadets. The Corps is invaluable and is doing fine work in that it is giving service both in gym classes and throughout the school. | SN OS SF ———————— eee CHIEF WALMER Irving G. Walmer, better known as “Chief”, needs no introduction to most Tech students. He was born at Fredericksburg, Pennsylvania, and after going through grammer school, he entered Myerstown High School in Pennsylvania. While in high school he participated in many sports, excelling in baseball, basketball, and football. After he finished high school he choose to go to Albright College. While there he was as active as in high school. After going through Albright he decided to further his education, and this time he picked Springfield College. While attend- ing Springfield he continued his career as an athlete by playing football, baseball, and basketball as in his other two schools. When he graduated from Springfield he received a coaching position at Albany Academy. He coached for one year at Albany before coming to Tech in 1924. At Tech he has coached many champion- ship teams in football, basketball, golf and other sports. “Chief” has been at Tech for many years and has had very successful seasons. We all hope he will carry on for years to come. COACH JOHN KALLOCH Johnnie Kalloch, fech’s new coach, was born in Holyoke and graduated from Holyoke High School where he played basketball, baseball, and soccer. He decided he wanted to be a physical instructor, so he entered Springfield College, where he continued to play sports. After graduating from college and coaching athletics at Buffalo, N. Y., for two years, he went to Hopkins Academy in Hatfield, Mass., where he remained for fifteen years. While he was there he coached many fine teams. In December of 1942 he came to Tech and immediately took over as basketball coach. In the eyes of all the sports writers and many of Tech’s own pupils he didn’t have anything that resembled championship material; but by the time the season was half way through, people began to wonder . In the end Tech came up with the city championship and two points short of the Western Massachusetts championship. This spring he will assume the duties of coaching the baseball team. GRANT KOCH Grant was born in Brooklyn, New York, and went through the public schools there. In high school he was active in football, baseball, and swimming. When it came time to play college, he made the same choice as the rest of the coaches and went to Springfield College. There he participated in lacrosse, swim- ming, and soccer. After graduating, he went to Henniker, New Hampshire, where he coached for two years. From Henniker he went to Griswold High School in Jewett City, Connecticut. He coached in that place until 1942 when he was sent to Tech. He started his duties as swimming coach in the fall of 1942, teaching the newly-formed swimming classes at the Y. M. C. A. He received his first coaching assignment when he took over the job of training the track team this spring. BRUNO RUMPAL “Bruno” was born in Austria-Hungary and came to this country when he was six months old. He attended Classical High School where he played on the baseball and the hockey teams. When it came time to enter college he chose Springfield College and went there for two years. Because they had no hockey team at Spring- field he had to settle for baseball. He was kept from playing football because of a knee injury he suffered playing sandlot ball at Forest Park. At the end of his second year he went to England where he entered the London School of Economics at the University of London. While he was there he spent his vacations touring Europe. He has visited all the countries and can speak enough of the different languages to get by. To keep up his sports he played baseball that would equal professional baseball in this country. After one year at the University of London he returned to Springfield College. After graduating he started his coaching career at Wilbraham Academy where he coached hockey and taught history. He came to Tech in the fall of 1941 and assisted “Chief” Walmer at football. After football he coached hockey and led the team to a city championship. � His next job here, coaching baseball, was a diffi- cult one, but he handled it well, and even though they didn’t get the championship the fellows had a grand time working with him. This past winter he had another champion hockey team, but the schedule was called off so they didn’t have a chance at the title. This spring he will handle tennis and badminton. All the fellows will agree “Bruno” is a fine coach and a friend to all who work with him. FOOTBALL Ist Row, left to right—Shaw, Kravitz, Omartian, Khitikian, Co-Capt. Daley, Co-Capt.

TOUCHDOWNS OF THE TIME AH!—1. Tech opened its 1942 season defending the Western Massachusetts title. The Tigers pinned a 21—12 defeat on Turners Falls in the only game of the season played at Pynchon Park. It was a great day for Sherry Shaw, who was on the receiving end of two passes for touchdowns and who kicked three extra points. Captain Dobiecki made the third and final touchdown. Walter Kostanski’s 85-yard run of a kick off was the outstanding run of the afternoon. AH!—2. Tiger eleven trimmed Pittsfield 20—O October third. Dick Daley collected two touch- downs. Gene Papineau got another one to continue Tech’s winning streak. Dobiecki, Brown, and Papineau sparked the Tiger offensive. Omartian, Moses, Khitikian, Kravitz, and Mulroy played a bangup game in the line. AH!—3. Tech remained in the undefeated ranks by staging a second-half comeback to pin a 12 to 6 defeat on Hartford Public High. Dick Daley and Ed Dobiecki brought up the curtain on their debut as co-captains, combining to spark the offensive. AH!—4. The Orange and Black smothered Holyoke High 33'to 2 in its first game under the light at Pratt Field. A crowd of 6000 saw the contest. The play of the game was executed by Ed Dobiecki, running 17 yards and lateraling to Dick Daley, who ran the remaining distance to score. John Lenville and Earl Brown broke into the scoring column, each making a touchdown. AH!—5S. Tigers shellacked what was supposed to be a strong Greenfield eleven by a score of 31—0, stretching its winning streak to five straight. The Orange and Black worked like a clock, with perfect timing to run up five touchdowns and one extra point. OH!—1. Tech’s winning streak was snapped by an underdog but powerful Cathedral High eleven. Co-Captain Dobiecki repeated Captain Ken Beausoleil’s 1941 88-yard run against Cathedral by running for a touchdown. Daley was missing from the lineup in the second half with an ankle injury. The Pep Squad put on a very college-like demonstration during the half as they spelled out “Tech” and “Cathedral”. OH!—2. A scrappy Tiger eleven suffered its second defeat on Thanksgiving Day to Nashua High, New Hampshire State Champions, at Nashua. Co-Captain Ed Dobiecki and Earl Brown featured for the Technicians.
