The men and women who first settled America — Spring- field — were pioneers. The way they opened was destined to be followed by millicns. Democratic communities, such as was Springfield, became a dream, sought after by all the oppressed, and all the ambitious throughout the world. This was an age of opportunity. Today we find ourselves at another turning point. The atomic age will replace the machine age, and the way we open will determine the way generations which are to come will follow. Never, since the earliest days of the United States, has Young America been so chal- lenged to pioneer. The applications of this new energy are numberless, and many, as yet, unexplored. One thing is certain: Success in this new era of living will depend upon a scientific knowledge of its workings. We, here at Tech, are fortunate. There is no better place to gain such an education. We have within our grasp the means of training ourselves for the many openings atomic energy will create. This is an age of opportunity. As citizens of Springfield, we have a heritage left by our forefathers. We, of Tech, can add to that tradition. We have the tools. We, too, can pioneer. ‘ SPRIN SFIETS Ss O O Oe O Page 6 Tiger Staff EDITORS-IN-CHIEF Joyce DONAHUE ANITA TORRES ASSOCIATE EDITOR CHARLES MAHONEY SPORTS EDITORS Girls Boys Grace Fimognari Joseph Napolitan Dorothy Stewart Terry Martin STAFF MEMBERS Gloria Abbas Rita Johnson Shirley Bennett Lorraine Jones Janice Blanchard Harriet Katz Beverly Brow Richard LeBlond Terry Dufresne Mary Lebra Doris Forni Alta Marasi Florence Hamel Francis Parrotta Barbara Harris Sofia Paspatis Doris Hebert Henry Sundberg June Wright PHOTOGRAPHERS Robert Brooks Harold W.

NORTHRUP, Assistant Principal One of the busiest men in Tech, Mr. Northrup, and his work Sometimes, but seldom is seen Includes so much that anyone.else In conference with pupils Would probably go berserk! In the office that’s ‘‘in-between.”’ But he’s patient, and understanding as well He’s our assistant principal, And we think “Herb” is pretty swell. M. MARCUS KILEY, Principal He spends all his days — and many nights Doing things for Tech — and for Techites. If someone has plans to try something new He’s right there to help them carry it through. He’s at all Tech productions, every Tech game, He knows practically everyone, by name. For all his work he feels repaid By graduates who have ‘‘made the grade.”’ Of course this man we think of so highly Is our own principal, M. Marcus Kiley. Page 9 Dorothy W. Adams Helen Brazeau Miss Adams has returned to Tech— A friend we're glad to greet. Her girls in Nisimaha Think that ‘‘D.A.’s’’ neat! H is for Helen—and happy, too. B is for Brazeau—and ballyhoo. A touch of joy, a warming smile, A helping hand, or a “‘stay awhile’’— They all add up to H. Brazeau — Teacher, librarian, fun to know! Looking for Miss Carey? I think you’ll prob’ly find She’s off to see a Broadway hit (Or maybe out to bowl a bit) Or something of the kind. Jean G, Hawkins Theodore M. Pease Dwight C. Francis Emma N. Lemay Alice G.

Mr. Chase has lots to do And among other things, He sees to it that we can buy Those snazzy Tech class rings! There’s no doubt that she’s busy! Miss Allen is combining A program of classes In arts, crafts, and designing. Posters for publicity? A dance’s color scheme? Tech turns to Helen Norrgard And the results are keen! Eunola B,.

Here, “‘in Tech’s family circle,’’ Spanish lessons are hurriedly com- pleted, dates made, sports and club problems discussed, lovers court, all are leisurely, complacently carried on, something new, something o'd, who cares. Perhaps the most value comes not from the “‘locker loves” them- selves, rather from the friendships made through them. Gracie Allen, ‘‘Handy” Fred Franklin, and “Ellie” Dodge (pictured above) are discussing the latest “‘corri- dor echoes.”” The Senior Prom, Henry Hewitt’s husky son, baseball, the Student Store, all of these and many more, are covered in a matter of minutes, those cherished few before the bell.

For coming down the street on either side are two town criers — careful examination reveals that these two are none other than our own Techites, Burt Mason and Jim Chapin. The picture at the right shows Burt Mason. Down-town shoppers stop, look, and listen and are told of the coming political rally held to draw out the voters for the city-wide elections. Also throughout the week our two “‘seven- teenth century boys’? announced the ‘Town Meetin’ ”’ in various high schools. Ringing their way down audi- torium aisles and weaving their way between hurrying housewives, they made possible a huge turn out at the rally sponsored by the League of Woman Voters.

Featured in ‘‘Tech Turns to Music,’’ and many assemblies, Betsy’s repetoire includes every type of music from the ‘‘Moonlight Sonata” to ‘‘Mairzy Doats.’’ She can thrill us with a purely classical selection played superbly, and in the next minute have us swingin’ down the aisle with a lilt- ing arrangement of a current hit.

Hours of work and high overhead were represented in their ‘“‘fall fling’? and the joy of success is theirs! You can rest assured that all of the profit was in reliable hands. Editor's note: Lest some should be shocked by the suggestions of Hi-Y sponsoring a bubble dance, we offer as explanation that it was the work of clever Happy Dennis, Senior, offering novel entertainment.

The enthroned ‘‘Techites’’ while their lonely vigil keeping, have ample time to study, provided, that is, that blondes or brunettes do not prove too distracting. Doing a “‘trig’’ problem is rela- tively simple with the aid of the passersby, and Romeo’s and Juliet’s love life often escapes from the ‘‘bookland” of the reader to serve as an inspiration to corridor rendezvous which are, admittedly, distracting to those lucky souls who guard our highways.

Of course, it’s none other than Earl Mori and Robert Kulungian, the inseparables. Are you wondering how the handles ‘‘Damon and Pythias”’ were tacked on these two shrewd-dudes. The origin of ‘‘Damon and Pythias”’ dates back to the fourth century B.C. when Damon pledged his life for Pythias who had been condemned to die. So profound was their friendship, that it has been a followed pattern through the ages. Earl and Bob have been true pals since junior high days.

In an assembly held in the gym, Charles Voorhis, professional parachute jumper with a record of 690 safe landings, demonstrated to our air-minded Techites how to fold and pack a parachute. Fred Franklin was chosen to model one of the ‘‘chutes’’ and demonstrate the opening of the ‘“‘chute’’ by pulling two rip-cords. Mr. Voorhis supplemented his demonstration with some blood-chilling real life experiences. His story af falling from 16,000 feet to 10,000 feet before his para- chute opened caused a volume of gasps from our jive- happy hepcats. Miss Alexia Kennis, a student of Mr. Voorhis, told of her first parachute jump. The minds of our sharpies are up in the air but definitely!

However, the real parents were glad to be alone with the red and squirming newcomers. One member of a Biology class remarked that Spotty bore a noticeable resemblance to Curiosity, the father. After hearing the hopeful remark that he’d probably outgrow it, Curiosity hid his head. Having many interested observers, has its disadvantages.

The Christmas Tea, an annual social event at Tech, is an outstanding example of faculty fun. Perhaps one of its main attractions lies in the fact that it is a student enterprise. All of the refreshments are made by the foods classes and include fancy cookies made in the shape of stars, Christ- mas trees, Santa Clauses, and crescents, cakes, nuts, punch, and all of the other goodies that go with such festive occasions. Senior girls served as hostesses to about 100 to 125 guests among whom was Mrs. Warner, the wife of Tech’s first principal. This tea is listed among the most outstanding events of the year and offers to all who attend a most pleasant and enjoyable time.

Our hats are off to Mr. Chase and Miss Agnes Young who smoothed the rough spots for us as “frantic freshmen” new to election of officers, class meeting procedures, and millions of other details — and as ‘“‘jumpy juniors’’, jumpy because there was so much to do and the year went so quickly. We soon found ourselves Seniors with even more on our hands — class rings, the prom and banquet, class day, hats and bands. In this hectic year, Mrs. Hederman, Mrs. Brazeau, and Mrs. Lemay joined our active advisers — found plenty to do, and did a wonderful job. We have now reached that phase of the Senior’s year overlooked in the underclassman’s reverent, ‘“‘Gee, it must be great to be a Senior!’ We bid farewell to lengthy ‘‘locker door discussions’’, study-hall day dreaming, and assem- blies. Strangely enough we realize that we’re also going to miss chem labs, English themes, and trig. We hate to leave and discover that graduation day is one of ‘‘sad rejoicing.” As we join the ranks of alumni, we’d like to say a special good-bye to you. You’ve been great, and thanks a million!

When last September came around, once again, we were a part of the hoard of kids who milled into Tech. We were so proud to be the misters-in-between! Since our ‘‘freshie’’ days weren’t too far behind us, most of us tried to help the newcomers get around on their own two feet. Remember how we hated that name? We also remem- bered too well how we had felt way off the beam when we couldn’t find the right rooms. But reminiscing is a , sign that we are getting old, so ‘‘leave’’ us leave our past to get on with the present and future. When the football season came around, we were so proud of our knowing the cheers. It helped to garner those extra points that changed a “‘Tiger’’ defeat to a victory.

That wasn’t so when Springfield was first settled. The early settlers felt that the place for their ladies was at home; therefore, they weren’t allowed the privilege of casting a vote for the man of their choice. Do you remember the excitement that came with ordering our class rings? It was really an important occasion. The same could be said when we chose our class colors. There were plenty of ‘‘discussions’”’ in our home rooms before we finally voted. Memories, ah, memories! Remember that Snow Flake Swirl? It was really solid! Knowing that it was our dance made us really proud that we were Juniors. When we saw the fairy castle in the center of the floor, it made us feel that we were in fairyland. It showed all the careful planning that went into it. Remember the com- mittee meetings? Great-grandmother would have swooned had she seen the lads and lassies capering around.

For the moment school work was the farthest from our minds. We were brought back to reality by the chemistry, French, and geometry homework, and especially that one thousand word theme staring us in the face. That really required work. When we walked into the library, we were auto- matically referred to the encyclopedias. The librarian was probably as tired of Eighteenth century drama and ancient Greet art as we were. But it only happens once in a lifetime and is all part of being a Junior. However, our days weren’t so full of study that we didn’t have time to look at the picture proofs and the sporty hats of those proud seniors. It started us to think- ing about our happy days as “‘seniors’”’. Until that happy day, we'll just dream — oh! there goes that voice of conscience, ‘‘Well, brain-child, you’d better start working until that last report card’s out. Then you'll really have arrived.”’ Page 63 ? t pe ¥ ; Page 66 Gack Ta Our George Menard, Ruth Brooks, Richard Leach Right: (left t o right) B. Wimberly, D. Provost, N. Venturini, R. Bussiere, J.

Fun, wasn't it? From the first time we entered the doors of Tech, we felt the pride of being a part of this huge school. First, we huddled bewildered in the assembly hall where we were sorted out one by one and were sent to our new home rooms. With this we began our three years at Tech. The sound of the bell and the rushing crowds brought to our minds the thoughts of finding our way to our class- rooms, and was that a problem! We seemed to be walking around in circles and getting nowhere fast and then — A scream from the gym — no not the usual workout, but our freshie initiation, here already! ‘‘The chamber or horrors,’’ which was really the inlet to the gym turned out to be the home of ‘‘cut-up bodies’’ which we were forced to touch as part of the ritual. How different from the usual entrance thru Tech’s doors. Our ruffled nerves were soothed by games and refresh- ments. As election time drew near we were startled out of our usual composure by the cry of, ‘“Come one, come all, get your nomination papers.’’ Among the many who ran for the offices the following came out on top: Richard Strout, president; Fred Hamel, vice-president; Robert Pickford, secretary; and William Cloonan, treasurer. Those elected to the Student Council were Norma Venturini, Mary Ann Radasch, Beverly Brow, John Hickey, and Ralph Coleman. What is this, dreamland? No classes? But that’s where you’re wrong.

Well, almost. Having decided that crawling bugs and baffling figures no longer aroused us, a colorful array of posters beckoned us to join the numerous clubs and activities. This was our chance to help the school which would give us so much. Page 69 The Freshmen class officers captured the front row in a “Daily News” picture.

It wasn’t long before the sports bug was in our blood and we, too, thrilled at the sound of loud cheers ringing from the gym. Sports rallies! There were our new cheer leaders in their snappy outfits rehearsing for our first football game, and was, perhaps, the greatest thrill of the year. To many of us it was not only the first game of the year, but the first game of many to come. Yes, we feel we have come through in grand style and can proudly boast of being successful juniors and look ahead to another happy, joyful year. How about it, kids? Do you agree?

Peering through the small win- dow of the schoolhouse, we would, to our amazement, see the schoolmaster, strict and stern, hovering over the segregated pupils. They would, no doubt, be cramming for a test on nouns, pronouns, adjectives, etcetera, and perhaps a spelling bee. Poor kids, they really must have led a rugged life! (What are we saying?) No, fellas and girls, we aren’t the only “slick chicks’ and ‘‘sharp sams’’ who have studying to do. They also had quite the time brushing up on a last minute glance in the book or at notes on the subjunctive mood or past, present, and future tenses. Several people have been amazed to hear that the lads and maidens of yesteryear had quite the same type of English grammar as we ‘“‘sharpies”’ today. We have far more up-to- date methods of teaching, as well as many new additions to our “family” of speech. While the framework of grammar has re- mained much the same, ther e are important changes in inflection.

What’s wrong, kids . . . too deep? At least you can see that the lads and maidens of the 17th century had nothing on us.

So “‘leave”’ us leave English what gives?”’. Literature and trail into American History. What say, chums? Now — gather ’round and hear what our 17th century ancestors studied along the line of history. We've been told that our fore- fathers studied their own English ancestory and historical background as well as that of those before them. If, perchance we could have happened into a schoolhouse of those early days, we would have unquestionably heard a copious out-pouring from the history page. class, concerning such vexing problems as to just who was the most outstanding character of that period, and just why it was necessary to study history of the past. We might have also caught a faltering note in one of our 17th century pal’s voice, as he frantically tried to recall the name of the character to whom his stern-faced master was referring. Sounds familiar, huh! Our 17th century chums’ lives in school days weren’t always on “the buttered side’, so to speak. They, like us, had quite an excruciating time of it, worrying about historical dates, famous places, and notable characters. We have only one complaint to register — just look at the history they made for us to study. But then, consider when you’re stumped by some history exam, what the scholar of tomorrow will be up against when he delves into the history of the 20th century. Our own period in American history will be a terrific conglom- eration of such foreign names as Casino, Guadacanal, Okinawa, and Yokasuka. The history les sons of the future will, of necessity, have to be much broader in scope than ever before. The World Wars, through which we've lived have brought people and coun- tries together to an extent never before achieved. It was a case of: ‘‘United we stand, divided we fall.”’ In the not too distant future, history might conceivably be incorporated so that instead of the various types studied today it would be possible to study ‘‘World War II” history. So, think it over, gang, things may be tough these days but — pity the poor history classes of 200 years from now! That should be a rugged deal !

With the traveling of men from place to place, it was only natural that each man bring his own language with him, thus causing many varied additions to each of the languages. This brought forth new and different languages, with many disputes as to the proper naming of each word. Spaniards, for instance, might decide that they wanted the table to be called la mesa in their language, whereas, the French would insist that the table be called la table in their native tongue. And then, too, the Germans would have their personalized and personalities. Page 74 way. Books in those days were few and far between, as we might well imagine. They were largely written by the monks and men of Holy Orders, and as we know, they were all handwritten, or printed, with large flourish- ing letters. With the many different nationalities in this group of printers, it might well be expected that words be misspelled. This, of course, led to several versions of a word. The main languages of that period were as they are today, English, Spanish, French, and German. With these numerous native tongues we can more readily realize the difficult process of procuring a truly leading language. ‘‘The authentic life of the 17th century with its manners and its crudeness, its gaiety if if ‘ 1 ae tans ala neRt = ' I : ' Middle: French class; baseball game.

Of course, one might find his way about, with the knowledge of a few of the most common words, but surely he would feel out of place. Today, Spanish has found an important place and plays a lead- Page 75 and left to right, N. Soucy, E. Spence, B. Ackerman, M. Law. ing role in our modern life. French was the international language for many years in the past, and in modern times English has taken its place to a large extent. In the Old World, every learned man spoke the French language, and vast numbers of the common population joined them. Although English has largely taken its place, French is by no means a “‘dead”’ language. Indeed, it, also, plays a leading role. German, too, is a popular language medium. The innumerable discoveries and the intellectual awakening of the modern era has caused a cleavage in men’s minds, but in the spirit of democratic relationships language shall play an ever increasing part in our world of tomorrow. Page “Who done it?’”’ We, having read the fabulous tales of ‘‘Music Land,” located in the room with the ‘drape shape,” room 12, decided to find the answer to the “sixty-four dollar question,’”’ the “whys” and ‘‘wherefores’” of Tech’s musical success. Here is what we've found. The singers say: “Tech’s music has come a long way. We all agree. From a handful of eager students in a small ill-equipped room, Tech’s Glee Clubs and Choruses have developed into a resounding crescendo of musical achievement. Much of the credit for this rapid development goes to Max T. Ervin, director, accompanist, vocalist, manager, producer (perhaps at this point it would be easier to list those things maestro Ervin leaves to others). Mr. Ervin, that ‘‘winner of ‘Ahs’,” is truly a dynamic person. His friends are many, his productions great.” The Band hath “Swing” and other- wise relates fine tales of rich enthusiasm. They speak of that man with the duo personality, raised to the fourth power. They whisper stories of ‘“‘terrific jam sessions” held long hours after the corri- dors are silent, they confess to grueling workouts for weeks before the big times Star performance brings down rafters Sing it — Swing it Jean Moriarty Paul Bampos, Barbara Small, Marlyn Dearborn, Ray Bussiere Doris Suamala ) — Page (“Tech Tantrums,’ assemblies, and ‘Tech Turns to Music’’) and are quick to remind us, somewhat bashfully, of the constant successes that have been theirs. They take pride in the achieve- ments and talents of such of their fellows as Burt Mason. They reflect in their spirit the joy of music. Mr. Ervin, dressed to kill, tells of out- standing members of the department such as Betsy DeBell, pianist. Ruffling through scores of music copies he speaks enthusiastically of ‘‘the fine work’”’ the Glee Clubs and Choruses turn out, of the talent in the Swing Band, of the “wonder work” that boys in uniform Stunning contrast — thrilling song turn out, and of his hopes for the future. We think they’re all wrong! They’re far too modest! Why, what other school produces annually such modern musical hits as our own—‘Tech Turns to Music.”’ We offer, as the answer of the ‘‘sixty- four dollar question” the spirit that is Tech. The combined efforts of five hundred earnest students under the able direction of a “‘real good guy”’ plus the support which the administration, fac- ulty, and student body have given. All of these go to make up “‘the spirit that is Tech’’ and music to match it! Glory be! Tech’s Medley Burt Mason Betsey DeBell, Grace Allen, Brad Barker, Barbara Burleigh Ruth MacBain Page 7 x Star to Steer “Two minute!s’’ Asbestos going up! House Lights!’ What can equal the thrill of these phrases? There’s a breathless excitement backstage from the most insignificant stage hand to the star as the curtains part and the play begins. So often an audience fails to realize that behind the hit they have enjoyed, lie months of preparation. Here at Tech, from start to finish these preparations are made either by members of the ‘‘Tech Players’ with their able director, Sydney Doane, or by the stage crew with Walter Lake at their head. Committees formed from the drama class for casting, tickets, publicity, and properties begin to function as members of the stage crew don their paint- spattered overalls and begin to build the set. The time from the day the play is chosen ’til the day after the show, is a hectic one for all involved, but the satis- faction of a job well done — and ap- plause from an appreciative audience makes all the effort seem worthwhile, and Tech justly proud.

If they were to be told that their interest, in the theater banned them from society they’d probably say, ‘“‘You’re crazy.” But in the 17th century, the theater was a “place of sin’—and to even attend a performance, much less partic- ipate in one was unheard of. Happily, times have changed to such an extent that nearly every school has a group of “Thespians’’. We believe that ours is one of the best. Mr. Doane’s students have turned out great perform- ances in everything they’ve presented. It’s not only big productions such as “You Can’t Take It With You,” which had them rolling in the aisles this fall, but also the numerous assemblies given throughout the year, that make us ever aware of this. Even tho’ that ‘‘We’re Broadway Bound” spirit serves to thrill every Tech actor, many will be content with the satisfaction that they have gained reams of valuable experience and had a great time producing great shows!

There are some people who, at the mention of art, might think of a smocked little gent in a cozy studio glaring at his canvas, or a stuffy museum filled with relics of days gone by. But here at Tech, art is offered in so many different varieties that you may choose whatever fits your fancy. Whether you’re to be another Rembrandt, interior decorator, craftsman, or designer, you’re sure to find satisfaction in at least one of the many fields of art. Let’s take a look into one of these art classes and see what expert work some ‘‘Techites” have done. In any craft class we’ll probably see Barbara Barry, Phyllis Naughton, Richard Carbone arrange the art display in room 312. Center: Dorothy Little and Mary McComb working on plaques.

We all know what a demand there is today for designers, and a peek into any designing class in which miniature dolls are being draped, will show the world that Tech is doing its part in upholding the legend of fairyland. If ours is to be the life of a career girl or just a plain housewife, we’ll all want beautiful homes, outside and in, and this is where interior decoration and land- scape comes in. So, you see art, as Tech offers it, not only offers recreational enjoyment, but also useful suggestions and hints for our life of tomorrow.

She had to spin or wait for an English ship bearing materials to dock. It must have been some fun to fashion a garment painstakingly by hand. When the family started working, they really worked.

Here’s another thought — How much math would you say was involved in the discovery of the atomic bomb or of jet propulsion? Yes, there’s no doubt about it, mathematics holds its own.

What! No sciences in pilgrim days of Springfield! They did have science studies, but not in the extensive fields which we study today. The limited subjects in the first little red schoolhouses did not include science, but near the end of Oh! but that’s where you’re wrong! the nineteenth century several scientific societies were founded. These clubs were given very impressive names and their programs usually consisted of lectures, discus- sions, and exhibitions of specimens gathered by the members. The societies did much in promoting scientific knowledge for citizens of our community. Our ‘‘cut-up” class, biology, is about the closest field L. to r. G. Peets, B. Sylvester, E. Kravitz, F.

The members of those early associations observed different types of plants and animals and their actions. Our young Tech biologists today make an even more specific study of plants and animals, even to dis- secting some of the smaller animals. Although this part of the biology course is not enjoyed by some of our more squeamish chicks, many carve away with glee. Although physics classes are today an ordinary part of Mr. and Miss Techite’s high school studies, it was a strictly foreign subject to a large majority of the popu- lation of early Springfield. Subjects concerning such Page 90 Standing: E. Lindwall. Seated: F. Fox, W.

The many com- plicated laws learned in our physics classes have been the cause of more than a few puzzled expressions and _ pre- maturely gray hairs to Techites. The old “horse and buggy’? country doctor was perhaps the first one to use Chemistry in his work. He used it in preparing medicines for his patients, but he didn’t cal] it chemistry then. Perhaps you've already been introduced to the subject either by seeing a pre- occupied student walking along the corridor mumbling Back: B. Small, D. Yarnell, R. Trombly, Front: W. Savard, M.

The early farmers tried to predict the weather by looking at the clouds, but this is not the method used by our physiography students at Tech. These future weather prophets use varied instruments and charts in their study of the weather. Despite these precautions, however, Mother Nature sometimes outwits our weather students as she does everyone else. Biology, physics, chemistry, and physiography — these four, and more, make Tech’s science department ‘miracle makers’’ of ‘ tops, and our science students the our generation.

Here’s your chance to see behind the headlines, to catch a real scoop, the story of the ““Tech News’’. Quiet As we peer over the shoulder of the editor, conservative ‘‘Pudgy’’ Emerson, we can see behind the print into the copyroom, to the editor’s maple desk, to the printers and back to Mr. Francis, to the circulators and then we see two thousand talkative ‘‘Techites’”’ huddled over their respective sheets. The Supreme Court would find it hard to decide just what it is that makes the ‘“‘News” just tops. Who’s Who, the sport page, Fashion Fads?

Popular? You said it! You can rest assured that the scholars of yesteryear who were afflicted with the “newspaper bug’’ found no such outlet for their creations. Talent and effort are combined under Mr. Francis’s able guidance to produce Tech’s top-notch paper. Page 103 Upper right: Thelma Edgett, Bob Emerson and Joe Napolitan go over galley sheets.

The early immigrants trudged through the wilderness with hopes of founding a better and more democratic settlement. These enthusiastic young pioneers band- ed together to try to create and maintain a democratic settlement based upon the principles of clean speech, clean scholar- ship, clean living, and clean sportsman- ship which we modern Americans call high standards of Christian character. The Tech Hi-Y based upon these same principles tries to maintain and extend them among the youth of today. The Tech Hi-Y Club came into being in 1917 with a total membership of fif- teen progressive students. Today the unit, one hundred fifty strong, operates fram September until June. Certainly you've danced to sweet strains of music at a Hi-Y dance or perhaps you'll re- member the contentment prevalent after the Easter Breakfast. ‘‘Pop”’ Ellis, Hi-Y co-ordinator, claims that one may easily distinguish a Hi-Y member from even the largest of groups. To substantiate this claim a Hi-Y member would no Page 104 doubt offer such suggestions as: ‘“‘he’s smart, or a good sport or Rod White, synonymous for Women Killer(!).’’ But we have our own opinions on the sub- ject. We think it might well be the triangular pin that all Hi-Y men (or their women) so proudly wear! “Te Create. WMatutaiu aud Extend” During the past year the Tech Hi-Y has won high recognition from the Massachusetts and Rhode Island Inter- state Hi-Y, because it did away with voting on applications for membership. The Tech Hi-Y club is a definite part of the school program and is not a fraternity or a secret organization. The club represents a true example of Amer- ican democracy in that it is open to any male member of the school regardless of race, color, or creed.

Conversation and cokes or guest speakers make meetings fun to go to. This year, the guest speakers obtained, were, foi the most part, those who could describe jobs in which the girls might be interested. With ‘what shall I do when I am out of school?” a big question in the minds of all of the girls, these talks have been an enormous help in deciding. Puge 106 Girlshave always enjoyed hav- ing an evening together, but sew- ing bees and quilting parties were favorites of great-great-grandma. Parents in ‘“‘the good old days” believed in accomplishing things — even in their entertainment!

Standing, left to right Edward LeMay, Sam Impoco, Gloria Abbas, Mr. Clancy, Adviser It is a Spring morning in 1640, and a big day in the lives of the Harpers, a typical New England family of the day. At last they are to have the new home they have been saving for. And how and where did they save their extra cash? Methods were varied, but a hidden jar, a locked chest, or even an old sock were among the most common. Imagine how pleased these _ thrifty pioneers would have been if they had had the opportunity to have their money really secure. How excited they would have been after hearing of Victory Bonds, where the interest is so great! A chance to make the future more secure would have been welcomed. Making our own future secure is im- Page 107 74 stamp a day - the “lech way portant, too. ‘‘Techites’’ have found that buying stamps and bonds is one sure way — and the best we know of — to accomplish this.

Peering in, one discovers that many of these details are being taken care of by our own Techites. Behind the counter pretty Miss Techite might be signing Johnny’s pass, answering the phone, or looking for a permanent record card in the filing case. These efficient lassies are indispensable additions to the permanent office staff. By giving up their study period, they save many steps and many minutes for the busy secietaries who have more than enough on their hands. It is difficult to imagine what great- great-grandma would have said if she had seen a young girl in an Office. Probably ‘‘a woman’s place is in the home”’ would have been her comment. But since such an observation is as out of date as pantaloons, our girls feel that experience gained in the Tech office is not only fun, but an excellent prepara- tion for a great many jobs.

No one knows just how it started; it’s beginnings are lost in legends and stories of ancient times. As Topsy, it just grew. Undoubtedly William Pynchon and his ‘“‘cronies’’ spent many long winter evenings close to the open fire, enjoying a ‘‘brisk’”’ game of chess. They played the game not only for pleasure, but also to sharpen their wits. A great many things have changed since then — but Pe © Q The club watches a game between Mr. Bushey and Donald Shapiro, and Mr. Newhall and Richard Schmetzer. not chess. For instance, the ‘bewildering offspring” of other years didn’t play basketball as the present younger generation does. But Techites still play chess for prac- tically the same reasons their ancestors did. Perhaps not so much for mental exercise, but certainly for enjoy- ment. In fact, they enjoyed the “battle of brains’’ so much that they formed a chess club. They meet every Thursday night immediately after school, in room 208 under the direction of Mr. Fales Newhall. The chess clubers spend most of the year practicing with each other. Then, when they feel they have reached the “expert stage,’ they challenge members of the faculty. Of course, you know who wins! Seriously though, the tournaments are very interesting, and often quite close. The members of the club have found that playing chess is a good way to forget the cares and worries of homework and report cards. Say! That doesn’t sound bad — I’m off to join up! Page 111 1¢'s the Story “Shey “ell Back in the good old days if someone wanted his descendants to know what he looked like, it was necessary to sit for days while an artist captured, or tried to cap- ture, his likeness on a piece of canvas. Even then it was difficult for great-grandchildren to tell just what the person looked like, but that was the best that could be done. Then the camera was invented, and people realized that having exact and detailed pictures of practically anything was possible. The dictionary says a camera is “‘A closed, light proof box for taking pictures,” but if you were to ask a mem- ber of the Tech Photo Club what a camera is, you would get a different answer. The camera fiend would talk about lenses, focal plane shutters, with perhaps a little dark room technique mixed in. Though the “shutter bugs” probably wouldn’t admit it, cameras are more than just amusement to them. They eat, sleep, and, in short, live photography. Most of you have seen Bob Brooks taking pictures for the ‘“Tiger.’’ Other members of the Photo Club are usually busy focusing or pushing in flash bulbs, but Bob Lower left: F. Green, H. Morrison, R.

His camera acts as a pass and gets him into many events which he might otherwise be unable to attend. To you, photography may be fun or merely an inter- esting hobby — but to the ‘‘photo clubers’”’ it means more than that—to them photography means their future.

Above: pre-game practice at Chicopee tilt, June 1946. . . . In the world of sports Tech High is atop the roost. Our teams have been taking on all comers and coming out on top a great majority of the time. During the whole year of 1945, Tech was not beaten once by any Springfield high school in any of the three major sports. The boys who make up Tech teams are now leaders in the world of sports, and soon will be out of school striving to become leaders in the world. There isn’t an athlete on a Tech team that doesn’t understand the meaning of social tolerance, for inter- mingling and playing side by side for the Orange and Black are all sorts of boys, with widely varied back- ‘grounds, from in and about Springfield.

Wally Hespelt scoring Tech’s touchdown against Cathedral Part of this understanding may be heredity, however, because the forefathers of Tech’s athletic leaders came from all over the globe to mold themselves into the city of Springfield. They were leaders also — perhaps not in any of the games we know and play today, but in a far more important game — the game of Life. So when the men of Tech turn in their togs for the last time, they will step out into this game of Life, with the whole world as a playing field, and their own wits the main equipment that will carry them onward through the maze of twisting roads that lead to happiness and good living. Each generation in the past has succeeded in clearing some of the roads for the next, and that is exactly what this year’s crop of Tech students is seeking to do for their posterity.

Co-captain Alex Korbut scored the first touchdown, going over from the Page 118 score, four. Wally Hespelt, outstanding Tech end, scored the second touchdown in the last minute on end around. The Tigers were never in danger, and it marked the third successive year that they had shut out the Berkshire Club.

Norm eluded two men and went over standing up. After a Hartford fumble, ‘“‘Chuck”’ raced around right end for 70 yards and his first touchdown.

Symbol of Appreciation Tech’s three year reign as supreme ruler of the city basketball league came to an end this past season when Classical High emerged the victor in a pair of hectic games and took their first basketball crown. The record as a whole was fairly good, though not up to the level of the powerhouses of previous years as the scoreboard showed twelve wins as against six losses. Teams which bowed before John Kalloch’s charges in- cluded Hartford, Poughkeepsie, Sacred Heart, Adams, Cathedrall twice, Trade twice, Smith Academy, St. Jerome’s, Greenfield, and Turners Falls. The blotches Co-capt. John Marro Alex Korbut on the record were made by Holyoke and Classical twice apiece, Adams, and Ludlow. The boys doing the ball-handling for the Tiger were tops, and though sometimes outscored, were never out- fought. Co-captains were “‘long-John’’ Marra and “‘lazy’’ Gene Davis, and they did a bang-up job all game-every game. John worked out of both the center slot and as a back- court guardian, played a fine defensive, keept things running smoothly, and was a great team player. Gene also was a two-position man, operating out of both a Co-capt. Gene Davis Left: Chuckin’ ‘‘Chuck ’ Carson chucks another. guard and forward position, and doing a great job at both. He set up many a play and could be counted on to come through in the pinch. High scorer on the squad was ‘‘Chuckin’ Chuck’’ Carson, whose sports career at Tech was cut short by his enlistment in the Army at the close of the basketball season. ‘“‘Chuck’’ heaved 76 shots from action and made good on 29 tosses from the line of least resistance to give him an aggregate total of 181 points in eighteen games, or a double-figure average of ten per tilt. Carson’s co-worker in the fore court was speedy Ed Wiencek, who was out of the lineup the last quarter of Page 121 ee Po Coach Kalloch the year after having the misfortune to break a finger in the second Trade School game. Ed was one of the best passers and defensive ball players on the squad, and did topnotch work while he was in there. Another football hero, who did equally well on the polished surface, was hefty Alex Korbut, who had the right back spot under good control all year. ‘‘Clem’’, a junior, was at his best when the going got rough, and aided immeasureably in point-making as he racked up 151 markers. When Wiencek was forced out of the lineup, his place was ably taken care of by little Al Colonna. Although hampered by his lack of height, Al did a good job and tossed some timely points. When height was really needed, Kalloch sent for lean and lanky Gary Anton, who stands some six feet four inches. Bob Raymond and Willie Searleman also per- formed smoothly, and as these last named are also juniors, the chances for a good club next year are ex- ceptionally good. For the past few seasons Tech has been unusually fortunate in having such a fine student manager as “Mickey” Stein. Mickey took some of the Junior Varsity burden from the always over-burdened shoulders of Johnny Kalloch. He was scorekeeper, record-recorder, and general handy man par excellence. “Chuck” Carson Gary Anton Ed Wiencek Ed Wiencek in a long one-hander. Some of the games were real humdingers, such as the two Adams tilts, the Greenfield and Hartford games, and the losing battles against Classical. All of the evening, and most of the afternoon home games were played before packed houses, in a few encounters the S.R.O. sign was hung out several hours before actual game time. If the gym could have held twice as many it would prob- ably have been just as crowded. Of course, most of the credit for the team’s showing must go to genial John Kalloch, who failed to win the City Championship for the first time during his tenure as basketball coach. This is definitely not a black mark on John’s record for his teams have won 53 of 66 tilts in four years for a superb .803 percentage. As long as Tech has a coach like John Kalloch, and players like those we had this year, Tiger fans can have supreme confidence that future teams will show themselves to good advantage on the hardwood floor. For those readers who would like to have a permanent record of the season, a short resume of each game follows! TecH 47, SMITH ACADEMY 13 Tht first game of the season turned out to be little more than a scrimmage as ‘“‘Chuck’”’ Carson and Alex- Kkorbut paved the way for an easy win. Tech led from the very first minute and was never threatened as the Smith boys registered only five floor goals during the entire tilt. Page 122 LupLow 44; TrEcu 31 Daring to play Tech for the first time in many a moon, the Ludlow Lions peppered the hoop a_ plenty in the last canto to gain a decisive win. At the three quarter mark Tech trailed by only 24-22, but four quick baskets sent the Jutetowners far into the lead. TEcH 37, TURNERS FALLS 33 Turners Falls really fell to the Tiger attack in their third tussle, but not before putting up a tough fight. In fact, the Powertown team led by a basket or two throughout the game, and held a 27-24 lead going into the final stanza. Gene Davis was the big gun for the day as he pumped home 14 markers. TECH 41, POUGHKEEPSIE 32 It was Kalloch against Kalloch in this pre-Christmas encounter, with Johnny showing little hospitality to brother Sam, who brought his New York State club down to Springfield only to be soundly thrashed by the Orange and Black combine. John Marra was the Tech hero, as he hooped them from all angles to rack up 14 points. TEcH 35, ADAMS 32 In a real humdinger Tech emerged the victor over a speedy and well-coached Adams quintet, and they were forced to go the limit to gain the nod. Tech led 21—11 at the half, but Adams put on a determined drive to overcome the lead, midway in the third quarter. Alex Korbut, John Marra, ‘‘Chuck’”’ Carson, and Ed Wiencek each connected for eight points. TEcH 41, SACRED HEART 21 In a rough and tumble game the Tigeis roared in the last quarter to an easy win over this supposedly strong Holyoke club. ‘‘Chuck’’ Carson and John Marra were the Tech sparkplugs, ‘‘Chuck”’ netting sixteen counters, and John putting on a brilliant exhibition of passing and teamwork as the team’s all-round play was little short af perfection. TECH 42, TRADE 24 The Kallochmen rang up another win as they toppled a weak Trade quintet with little trouble. Tech took a 13-1 first round advantage, and thereafter had an easy time of it. Everyone on the squad got into the game, and most of them contributed to the scoring. TrEcH 49, St. JEROME’s 36 Making a brilliant second half rally to come from the short end of 24-13 count, the Tiger basketeers tripled their half-time score to trounce the Jerries. ‘“‘Chuck”’ Carson and Alex Korbut split the hemp with regularity as they notched eighteen and fourteen points respec- tively. Gene Davis also helped.the cause along with eight. Horyoke 40, TEcH 26 Holyoke High’s powerful five rolled up a thirteen point lead in the first half and held on to their advantage in the last sixteen minutes to pin the second setback to the Tech record. Alex Korbut kept the Bengals in the game as he hooped eleven points, but the Holyoke club had too much height. TrEcH 34, CATHEDRAL 16 In a game that was a Tech-Cathedral tilt in name only, the Tigers easily stopped a hapless Purple quintet. The Panthers were able to schow only six points for their work during the first sixteen minutes and were able to better this only by four in the last two cantos. PLaAssical 47, Teco .34 Classical High’s Bulldogs showed their teeth and clawed the Techsters into submission with surprising ease. Eddie Wiencek and ‘‘Clem’”’ Korbut tried in vain to swing the score to Tech, but for some reason or other the Kallochmen were unable to click in the accustomed manner. TECH 28, GREENFIELD 27 It was get ahead and stay there when the Tigers and Greenies matched wits and ability on the hardwood floor. The first was easy, but it took a lot of fast, hard playing to enforce the second part. At one time Tech was in the van 28-18, but the Benjamen gradually crept closer and were barely thwarted at the final whistle. HOLYOKE 63, TECH 41 Huge Hugh McGarrity and his teammates took Tech’s measure for the second time in a hectic, free- scoring tussle in the Paper City. The Holyokers began rolling early and nothing the Home City lads tried was successful in stemming the steady flow of the opposition’s points. ApAms 39, TEcH 38 A mere second stood between Tech and a second victory over Adams, but Alex Korbut’s long set shot was just that much after the final whistle, and the Foxes gained the win. It was a see-saw battle, and Adams happened to be ahead when the fame ended, much to the sorrow of loyal Tech fans. TrEcH 60, TRADE 33 Kalloch’s Kagers had little trouble downing Trade School for the second time, as ‘‘Chuck’’ Carson hit the high mark for this year’s club as he heaved home no less than twenty markers. Ed Wiencek, sparkling forward, broke a finger in this game, and it proved to be serious enough to keep him out of the last three games. Tecu 65, CATHEDRAL 40 The Elliot Street battlers met for the second time, and for the second time the Parochial School was Page 1 swamped. Ganglin’ Gary Anton proved to be the hero of this game as, using his height to good advantage, he rimmed fifteen points in the second half, most of them hooped from ‘neath the strings. TeEcH 49, HARTFORD 47 “Chuck’’ Carson was again in the hero role as Tech pinned a defeat on Hartford. Trailing by 46-45 ““Chuck”’ stole the ball from a H.P.H.S. guard, dribbled down, and scored. The victim of a deliberate foul on the play, he proceeded to drop in two charity tosses, and that’s the game in a nutshell. CLASSICAL, 42, TECH 32 Classical was returned city champs as they stormed the Tiger gym and came up with another victory. The second period, in which the Blue and White teamsters outscored Tech 19-7, was the deciding factor in this rough and tumble game. Thus, the Tigers closed the book on another basket- ball season. Jump up toward close of Adams game. Page 124 Ferri scores again. Gene Davis coming home. Easy one for Tom Bergamini The Tech Tigers fielded a strong baseball team again last year as the diamond outfit rolled through a ten game schedule without a loss. This brought the baseball city title to Tech as the Orange and Black easily beat Trade three times and Classical and Cathedral twice each. Along with these seven victories were wins over Ludlow, West Springfield, and Wilbraham Academy. The season opened at the Ludlow ballfield where the Tech men easily beat the Lions, 7-2. Bob Falk was the starting pitcher, but after some early inning trouble, he was relieved by Danny O’Brien. Danny went the rest of the way to become the winning pitcher. Tech’s second victory came at the expense of Wilbra- ham Academy. The Tigers won this the hard way by coming from behind to register a 7—5 triumph. The last outside game proved to be the most exciting as the Tigers nosed out West Springfield, 4-1. With the score tied at one-all in the first of the ninth, Tech broke out with three runs to give them the victory. Standing: G. Davidson, W. McGrath, N. Garafalo, E. Glad, W.

Joe Ferri Page 125 The Kallochmen’s first inter-city rival was Trade, who was dumped, 15-8. Dan O’Brien went all the way for the win while Garrow, Bergamini, and O’Brien smacked out three hits apiece. The Elliot Street feuders were next on the schedule and Tech easily beat Cathedral, 9-4. Dick Lewis racked up a win for himself as Ferri, Davis, and Bergamini each garnered two hits. The next game was also a victory for Lewis as Tech downed Classical, 14-7. The second inning was enough to win as the Orange and Black pushed across nine runs. Dave Garrow led the way with three bingles. Dan O’Brien hurled Tech’s only shutout as Tech once again downed Trade, 9-0. Garrow featured the game with a home run. Piling up a fine run lead in the first few innings, Tech went on to submerge Classical for the second time, 9-6. Dick Lewis received credit for the win. A 10-1 victory over Trade clinched the crown for Tech, and a 12-7 beating of Cathedral was tossed in for good measure. Tech was then picked as one of the teams to play in the Western Mass. tourney at Holyoke. The first game against Turners Falls was easily won, but running up against Holyoke High, Tech’s victory string was snapped. Dave Garrow and Joe Ferri hit two long home runs, but they weren’t quite enough to win. During the regular season, Tech scored 96 runs as against their opponents 41. Dick Lewis was the star hurler with seven wins and no defeats. Dan O’Brien won the remaining three games. akes ahefty cut. Flebotte closes in for the kill. Milt Orcutt’s soccer charges had a mediocre season in ’45 as they copped five games, dropped the same number, and tied another trio. Lil Lenny Walin was by far the team’s most proficient scorer as he booted home eleven goals. Neil Hansen chipped in with three, Ray Douthwright with two, while Flebotte, Wheeler, and Syzpanek each tallied one. All of the Tech victories came in interschool competition, as they romped through the first round winning three games and tying one, it Soccer men in rough scrimmage. Wheuthe Kick Counts being a scoreless deadlock against Classical. The Tigers faltered in the second round and dropped two 1-0 games to Classical and Trade. Against outside clubs the Orange and Black booters were well-nigh helpless, for despite some stellar work at the goal by Bonde John- son, they lost three decisions and garnered a tie in another pair. Johnson, by the way, had an exceptionally good year as he showed fine ball-blocking ability in racking up a half dozen shutouts during the course of the year. Opposing wingmen could only break through his de- fense for fourteen goals in thirteen tilts. A break-down of the record shows double victories over Commerce and Cathedral, and a win over Trade. West Springfield was battled to 1-1 and 2-2 ties, while one Class- ical battle ended in a scoreless deadlock. Written off in the loss column were defeats suffered at the hands of Ludlow, Trade, Classical, Monson, and Wilbraham Academy.

TrEcH 0, CLASSICAL 0 Classical’s Bulldogs and Tech’s Tigers were keyed to a high pitch this wintery October afternoon as they battled through four regular and two overtime periods with both teams lacking the final punch to score. Bonde Johnson was the Tech defensive hero, making many a fine save. CLASSICAL 1, TEcH 0 A second half score by a Blue and White forward proved to be the margin of victory as Classical clinched the Interschool crown. It was the only goal made by either club in the two game series and proved to be of the freak variety. LupLow 2, TEcH 0 Ludlow’s Lions, the eventual Western Mass. champs, were held to their lowest score to date when they quickly pushed over two first period goals to top Tech 2-0. For the remaining three quarters the Orange and Black put up a rigid defense but were able to do nothing in the way of getting any equal- izers. The early November game was accom- panied by fierce winds which made ball handling and passing especially tough. Page 128 Milt Orcutt’s tennis team replaced Classical as City Champs for the first time in many a moon as they went through an undefeated season. The netmen downed Classical twice, Cathedral, Wilbraham Academy, and the Tech faculty. Dave Lorenzi captained the racket swingers besides winning the five sets in which he competed. John Blake also came up with five wins in as many tries. The Wilbraham Academy team proved to be the toughest hurdle to jump, Tech finally winning out 4-3 when Dick Schmetzer and Blake teamed up to take the vital doubles match, which was the last on the card. Undoubtedly the most interesting match held was that against the faculty. Max Ervin, ‘‘Moose”’ Sprague, “Dapper” Doane, ‘‘Steeple’’ Chase, and Herb Northrup were the teachers who went home with a greater admir- ation for the tennis team. The won and lost records in singles competition for the team members were as follows: Lorenzi, 5—0; Blake, 5-0; Schmetzer, 4-1; Raymond, 3-1; Ring, 2-0; Cohen, 1-0; Zimmerman, 0-1; Carbone, 0-2. An unofficial member of the team whose official capacity was that of assistant coach was Gene Davis. Being pressed into service for the baseball team, Gene did not compete in any matches but helped some of the newer fellows along in the game. He is probably the out- Upper right: Gene Davis.

He was also active in other amateur events around here, placing high in all of them. Captain Dave Lorenzi was another member of the team who was an avid player outside of school. Dave was the top-seeded man in the Daily News tournament, going to the semi-finals before being eliminated. +. ++. ++ ++ + + +4 +4 Gogey Boys! Tech’s golf team had a rather poor season last year as the Walmer-coached clan dropped two out of three matches. The ope ning game of the season was played against Ludlow High. The Tigers looked good in this match, but the Ludlow team proved to be too powerful as they racked up a 4-2 win. Feo Moretti, captain of the team, and Jim Falvey scored the two Tech points. The next opponent on the Tiger’s list was Cathedral, who fell easily to the Tech attack. The final score was 9%-2™% in favor of the Tigers. Moretti and Falvey once again scored for Tech, along with Don Bronner, Walter Weisse, and Mickey Stein. In the final match of the season, the Classical Bulldogs, winners of the City Championship, scored an 8%-3'% victory over Tech. Moretti and Bronner teamed up to take 2% points in the first match. But from then on, Classical had the game all its way, except for the final match in which the two Normans, Ballard and Rappa- port, teamed up to give Tech its final point. Other boys who went out for the squad, but who did not figure in the scoring were Andy Nicolli, Alan Griggs, Carl Binsky, Walter Johnson, and Bob Friese. The year was not a good one for golf, as all three matches were held on muddy courses and many of the practice matches were forced to be played under the same conditions. Other difficulties also appeared in the form of ineligibilities, with four of the more promising members unable to compete. However, the golfers had fun and the benefit of learning more proficiency in this sport of kings. Most of last year’s boys were juniors, fortunately, and are performing on this spring’s club, which is meeting with a great deal more success. Upper left: Feo Maretti. Lower left: Donald Bronner.

Sheedy Sprtuters A glance at the record book shows that for nineteen years, since 1926, Tech has reigned supreme as Interschool track champs. Last year their supremacy ended for a time as Classical captured the annual Interschool Meet. As we go Danny Beeman tossing the discus. to press, the Orange and Black trackmen seem to have the ability to get back into the driver’s seat, as recent meets have shown. High scorer and captain of last spring’s club was John Vartanian, who is now sporting his wares with A.I.C. Vart didn’t stick to any particular event, for he scored points in the discus throw, shot put, and high jump. It is interesting to note that though Classical took over the Tigers in the Coach Batt Captain John Vartanian going over high-bar. Interschool Meet, they were soundly whipped in the Western Mass. Meet, finishing fourth, one rung and ten points lower than Tech. The Battmen suffered misfortune after misfortune, losing no fewer than a half dozen boys in the course of the year. Among them were Dan Moroz, who broke his collarbone, and George Hood. Both were promising prospects. A summary of each meet follows. WILBRAHAM 75, TECH 33 The Wilbraham Academy team proved to have too much power as they surged to a rather easy victory over an outscored but never an outfought Tech Don Broderick outfit. John Vartanian, Gene Mejor, and Glen Dondley brought home the only blue ribbons winning the high jump, half-mile, and mile respectively. The Tech trackmen were never even in the meet as the score indicates, and showed the lack of a sprinter. Bob Collins heaving the shot-put. Page 131 Page 132 Lyman Root, Glenn Dondley, William Hill, Don Broderick TEcH 73, TRADE 26 Henry Batt’s charges surged into the win column on their second attempt by trampling Trade with ease. The meet was close only for the first three events, Tigers taking three places in the next trio to forge far ahead. The Tigers chalked up eight firsts in the eleven events, being beaten only in the 100 yard dash, half-mile run, and shot put. However, we captured a second and third in each of these latter events. Winners among Henry Batt’s charges were Aykanian, 220 yard dash; Broder- ick, 440 yard run; Root, mile run; Ber- telli, 120 yard low hurdles; Hill, running broad jump; Vartanian, running high jump; Beeman, discus throw; and Worthing, javelin toss. QUADRANGULAR MEET Classical was a mite too much for the Tigers as they edged them 41-37 in a four cornered meet, Westfield and Trade being the other contestants. John Vartanian took the only first place copped by Tech in the discus throw, with Danny Beeman _ holding down second place. The trackmen also picked up three more second and thirds to account for their score. CLAssICAL 58%, TEcH 48% Sparked no end by a fine running freshman sprinter, Classical emerged the Clesson Constine and Don Broderick Front: Don Broderick, Glenn Dondley, Lymen Root, Bill Hill. victor in the Interschool meet, with Trade far behind with a mere 14 mark- ers. The Bulldogs took eight firsts, while the Tigers fought back with four, one of them in the 440 relay which was not tallied in the point making. John Vartanian, Dan Beeman, and _ Jack Worthing were the boys who were win- ners in their events. WESTERN Mass. MEET The Battmen closed the year by wind. ing up third in the Western Mass- champion meet, Westfield, whom Tech had earlier beaten, coming out on top of the heap and Pittsfield second. Classical was a poor fourth. Back: Robert Collins, and Clesson Constine. Due to unfortunate circumstances, Jack Worthing and Bob Collins, who were expected to do well in the javelin and shot put, were unable to compete, thus putting a serious crimp in the Tiger championship aspirations. John Vartanian and Dan Beeman again took firsts, with the mile relay team also copping top honors. A great deal of credit for this win can go to Broderick, anchor man on the team, who overcame a 60 foot handicap on the last lap to break the tape ahead of the field. Other point getters for Tech were Dondley, Jones, Herchuck, Constine, Faniel, Aykani an, Bertelli, MacIntosh, and Lucia.

Champ- ionship to Tech went to Milt Orcutt and his mermen, who captured the annual meet held at Massachusetts State College for the third successive time. One of the fruits of victory was the beautiful plaque which was to be awarded to the first triple winner. Since the tournament’s inauguration in March of ’°44 Orcutt’s charges have come home champs on each occasion. A great deal of credit for Tech’s supremacy in this field is of course due to genial Milt Orcutt. An expert tank- man himself Milt always has his clubs in tip-top condi- tion, and during his three-year tenure at the helm of the swimmers, he has seen his teams bow to but a single club: that the powerful Hartford (Ct.) Public High aggregation which is reputed to be strong enough to down any college team in New England with the excep- tion of Yale. The Western Mass. meet at Amherst on March second showed to good advantage the tremendous power in ever-improving Techmen, as they put on a dazzling display of scoring strength to tally 67 markers, 23 more than their nearest rival. Earl Gokey, who sparked Tech for three long years, during which time he was denied a blue ribbon in the 100 yard free-style only twice, bested his own meet record in the dash, lowering it to 58.6 seconds. Pres Doane also set a new record in the 220 while Howie Appleby and Jim Hamilton, football stal- warts, captured first places in their respective events. Ray Douthwright showed the way in the diving events but was pressed by a Pittsfield man. Another record- breaking performance was put on by Gokey, Doane, Appleby, and Art Rourke, who combined to lower 200 yard relay time to 1:47.2. Paul Kirketelos and Art Rourke chipped in with a second place while John Rourke, Bob Gordenstein, and Al Johnson splashed their way to third place spots. Tech and Pittsfield were neck and neck for the first two races, but the Tigers forged into the lead in the 220 free-style as they took three of the five places. All told the Orange and Black band tallied at least six points in each event, and in all took fifteen places out of forty, thus overshadowing by far the merits of the other five participants. A week after taking the one-sided Western Mass. meet the Orcuttmen took a trip to Connecticut, visiting the Meriden High School at their own splashing grounds. This second trip to the state just ‘South of the Border”’ proved successful, as the boys handed the Meridenites a 45-30 lacing. Jim Hamilton was the big noise in the Tech attack as he came up with a double win. ‘‘Goke’”’ took his usual 100 yard dash with ease while Paul Kirketelos, Pres Doane, and Howie Appleby scored the other individual wins. The 200 yard relay team also posted a triumph to give the Home City lads an even half-dozen blue ribbons. As mentioned before, the mermen met with very little success on their first jaunt to the Nutmeg State, and that is putting it mildly, for the Capital City ducks emerged victorious in every event, to swamp Tech under in a 52-12 avalanche. Not a single Tiger was able to break the tape first, although several of the races were ex- tremely close, especially the 200 yard relay. In the first outing of the year Tech journeyed up to the Berkshires to meet the Pittsfield Boys’ Club, in what turned out to be a top-notch thriller of a meet, and when the points were totaled it showed both tank teams to be knotted at thirty-three counters apiece. Each team Page 135 garnered four firsts, three seconds, and a like number of thirds with neither team ever in the van by much. As usual Earl Gokey and Pres Doane talled triumphs with Tyke Kirketelos spurting ahead in the last lap to notch a win in the breaststroke. And of course, the 200 yard relay team, which lost only one race during the season, came out in front in their division. Amherst High also fell easily to the Bengal attack, as they continued their splendid work away from home. Our steady winners, namely Gokey, Doane, Hamilton, and Appleby, each added another knot in their victory string, as they took their respective sprints with ease. The 200 yard relay quartet also had too much power for the College town four, winning this race by a good ten yards. At the close of school in June, graduation will claim such stars as Earl Gokey, Howie Appleby, Tyke Kirke- telos, Art Rourke, Ray Douthwright, Al Johnson, and Bob Gordenstein. These boys have given their all to Tech for three tough years, and if the ribbons they won were put together it would make a pretty bulky package. However, some of the tip-top performers on the team will be back, and hopes are high for another championship team next year.

The sports which you so freely participate in to- day have developed with the development of our country —and, to get even closer to home, the development of our fair city. If it were possible to turn back the clock to 1636 and the years that followed, it would be interesting to see what the ‘‘weaker sex”’ was doing in the line of sports. Then the old saying, ‘‘A woman’s place is in the home,” was in effect. So most likely we would find her bent over a washboard or over a large hot stove. The only forms of recreation that the poor souls had was at a social church gathering or a picnic. There was little time for recreation as the pioneer women had plenty of tasks to do from dawn to dusk. Then, t oo, the costume of the day was not styled for active sports. Just imagine how she would look in a floor length dress made of yards and yards of heavy material. Today those styles would horrify a modern miss as much as our tennis garb would shock great- great-grandmother who could not so much as show her ankles. This gives you some idea of the lack of sports in the infancy of Spring- feld. But what of the years to follow? As the city matured and the cobwebs and dust were removed, girls gradually began to venture into a new, breath-taking world. The door to a vast field of sports was opened. Soon girls were taking part in almost every sport. They were interested in the new, fast, care- free games. They were intrigued by the swift action of tennis. The sharp, precise action of basketball and soccer gained as much popularity as the racing motion of field hockey. Girls soon discovered that the free graceful motion of swimming was a perfect Page 136 % y Y Zz A Ve Z Z A Zz A G Helen Blata, Dorothy Stewart SSS é f, , 4 Y f 4 Z 4 i y i Janet Harris, Eleanor Sharon exercise toward a slim figure. Volleyball and softball were equally popular, and later bowl- ing gained the ranks of their favorite sports. The participants in sports were gaining more than just the physical exercise; they were gaining a good sense of reasoning, quick think- ing, and the ability to follow directions and obey the rules of the game. They were learning good sportsmanship and the traits of a good leader. Taking part in sports helped the girls to work as a u nit, striving for a goal of fairness, perfection, and accuracy. All of these things help to make a good citizen in a modern world. Today, sports are taking an active part in our everyday life and are help- ing to build strong, healthy citizens for our community. Thus we have reviewed a few centuries in a few minutes, and the clock has run down. Here we are — back to the carefree year of 1946. This year the G.A.A. under the super- vision of the Misses Whittemore and Hatch had a full program of sports, in which about two hundred girls have participated. There were more girls taking part in sports this year than in any previous year. One of the reasons for this increase in membership was the wider variety of sports. The vigorous ‘‘Techites’” of the G.A.A. started their sports program in full swing at the beginning of the year by having a picnic, which was preceded by a long, energetic hike along the south branch of the Watershops Pond. When they reached the picnic spot, the famished girls found two roaring fires and settled down to enjoy hot dogs, soda, ice cream, and cookies. Freshmen girls received a very enjoyable welcome when the G.A.A. sponsored a party for them. AllG.A.A. mem- bers and freshmen girls were invited.

Page 138 one, including each and every senior, was obliged to take part in at least one game. Fall sports were in progress by this time, and they were field hockey, which was played for the first time, tennis, and swimming. Field hockey, a game of vim and vigor, took the spot-light for the fall sports, having a large group of robust girls learning the method of playing this game. During the fall the ‘“Tech- ites’’ engaged in outdoor sports used flashy orange and black sweaters to identify them- selves from girls of other schools. There were two interscholastic games played. The game with Commerce was won by the Com- merce girls with a score of 2 to 1. Classical challenged the Tech girls, and this lively game ended in a score of 0 to 0. The sub- stitutes, waiting on the sidelines, could hardly stand still, for this game was packed with one thrill after another. Tennis was also greeted by a rather large group of girls, who met and competed in fast-moving games at DEE patie Soule Nesui ele waeaibe gan oc ket the ball.

Intermediates perfected their strokes Page 139 and learned how to dive in these same classes. They were instructed by Miss Whittemore with the help of Joan Zehner and Barbara Oviatt. Later on in the year a course in senior life saving was had by those interested in it. As the snow began to fall, the girls took to indoor sports, as a dog takes to a heaping plate of now unrationed meat. Basketball, bowling, ping-pong, and badminton consti- tuted the sports for this season. Basketball also saw hair-raising interscholastic games. Everyone who had been on a school team had a chance to play. One day there was another big happening; this was the annual bowling event. Each school was represented by a team of its best keglers. Three strings were bowled by each bowler and the highest scores were taken and tallied. The team with the largest pin-fall was the victor. This year bowling spot-lighted all other sports, because Upper left: Miss Hatch. Upper right: Dorothy Stewart, Dorothy Marotte, of the keen competition between our intra- Marion Decker, Joan Zehner.

Right: on ropes, Jahet Harris, badminton, the minor sports, saw some super games between various ‘‘Techites.’’ The girls were instructed in the grip of the racket and some of the simple strokes. Then came Spring in her trailing robes, or, at least, that’s what they say. Along with her came hikes, volley ball, and tennis. A peal of laughter might have been heard as a group of hikers stepped in quick rhythm with their physical education instructors. When once at the picnic grounds, the girls played and saw an exciting game of softball. Volleyball saw a lot of shots put over its net only to be returned with a spike or a quick recovery from one of the net players. Each member of the G.A.A. had to take part in at least one of these various sports to retain her membership. The officers, Dorothy Marotte, Helen Balegno, and Jean. Mackenzie as president, vice-president, and secretary respectively, decided each girl would receive so many points each time she went to an after-school sport, and when she had received a designated number of points, she would be entitled to her school letters. Another improvement came with the year, this was the getting of costumes for interscholastic sport games. They are all white costumes, consisting of a pair of shorts and a sport shirt. When the girls received these to play in, how could they help but try their best. When you were walking along outside the girls’ gym, you might have heard someone shouting: ‘‘To the rear, march! By the right flank, march! Class halt, one, two!”’ (Who had that extra foot?) These commands might have been given by one of the cadets. If you had dared to peek in, you might have found these same girls demon- strating exercises, and keeping attendance for theirsquads. The Gym Cadet Corp was reorganized this year. Dor- othy Stewart, Janet Harris, and Nancy Redfield were chosen as president, vice-president, and_ secretary respectively. They had planned a program in which the cadets would excell in apparatus work, stunts, and group games. ‘The cadets also made up a large group of the girls who took part in the gym demonstration. They really showed the boys that they could do as well if not better than they. “Office cadets, who are they?’’ was asked by a fresh- man. Yes, only a freshman would ask such a question, for everyone else knows who these girls are. By this time this freshman surely knows that they are those girls who are excused from gymnastics by their doctor. If you had stopped into the gym office during one of the eight periods you have, you would probably have found one or two girls going about their tasks as busy as beavers. Their tasks are those of keeping records, an- swering the telephone, making out passes, and recording daily excuses from gym. All of which sums up the lively life in our Tech girls’ gym. What a wonderful change from the staid, ‘‘sans sports’”’ existence of our feminine ancestors. Upper left: on rings, Mary Law, Gloria Gearing, Margaret Coleman, Eleanor Lindwall, Marjorie Hire.

Seems to be a conference in Miss Hilliker’s 211. Mr. Wright, that friendly and lovable character, alias ‘‘Class picture taker,’’ apparently is the center of attraction at this point of the meeting. Yes, and “Our Una” is proudly (and why not) displaying Tech’s perfectly marvelous ’47 dummy, with its unique and much-slaved-over layouts, all set for next year’s pictures which are already partially planned. Fast work, huh? Listening closely, we can hear Gloria Abbas’ wee, little voice adding a bit of comment from her corner... and Charles Mahoney giving out with one of his many excellent ideas. Yes, indeed, this yearbook will equal and, we hope, exceed in quality Tech’s many great yearbooks of the past. Pardon us while we rave on... our yearbooks have been outstanding among the schools of the country and have won two well-earned awards. Rest assured that with the super photography of Bosworth’s—Mr. Wright to us all—we will have a fine book. 29 HARRISON AVENUE SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS Unquestionably are Fashion Leaders in DRESSES COATS SUTES FUR COATS anp SCARFS For JUNIOR MISSES AND WOMEN BORMEAT INE WeBbOOK VISIT AHUNTTING'S BOOK SHOP Where all the latest books are available 100 CHESTNUT STREET SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS C.
