Helen Norrgard Ida B. Roy Art Dr. Charles Cockayne and in the summer season, campin’ in the wilds of Quinepeck. Master Harold Schellenger has served the citizens of ’47 well as their money tender and as a Director of the S. A. Board. Master Stanley Sprague, teacher, Mr. Anthony, and actor, is, indeed, one of the most outstanding of Tech’s faculty funsters. Master Sprague with the fringe on top is a man to whom we all look up! Doctor Helen Theinert, who rates among the most popular of faculty members, has an aptitude, a smile for each of our youngun’s, and a promising future in dancing! Mistress Agnes Young spends much of her time away in Waterville, Maine, recuperatin’ from her tremendous task as pathfinder for the citizens of ’46. Common to all is her despair over this modern generation who ‘don’t know beans from a bear’s foot!’ Master Arthur Woodworth, who served in the recent war, has become one of Tech’s heroes. His steady work, as auditor of the Tech Store, well done, has awarded him the admiration of all. Master Woodworth has had his head in the clouds of late lookin’ for that far ad- vanced math class! “In the department of art we have three instructors, who conduct a mighty fine program. Dame Bessie Allen is a lover of new and graceful designs and it is from her classes future Rentners come. Mistress Helen Norrgard, aside from the wonder work of classroom, will long be f AW! : Arthur Woodworth remembered by the citizens of ’47 for her exquisite taste, and Harold W. Schellenger ability to produce decorations for dances that have become part of the lore of the ‘leavers’. Dame Ida B. Roy is one of Tech's most accommodatin’ teachers. She always employs her ability willingly for the benefit of others. Dame Roy is charged with the responsibility of arrangin’ Tech’s show cases and her artistic tastes have been displayed admirably. Dame Roy was the pro- gressive lady responsible for the modern city tucked neatly within our alcove.” Mathematics Henry A. Hewitt Mary T. Kelley Edna G. Marston 17 Agnes M. Young Helen N.

- Bessie R. Allen Art Dame Thompkins and Mistress Brazeau William E. Ahern Miriam E. Allen George A. Andrewes The townsters stirred anxiously as Goodman Praiseall’s tenor loudly decreed: ‘‘The Department of Mathematics, the instructors in this department know all the angles! Méis- tress Miriam Allen is making preparation for the big year acomin’ since hers is the head advisorship of the celebrated citizens of ’48. Although Squire Ahern confesses to goin’ down the hill, he seems to be none the worse off. Shortly after his arrival at Techdom, he rolled up his sleeves and pitched in his lot with the senior advisors. His work on the Senior Prom has been meritorious and his patrollin’ of our hallways has earned him the respect of all. Most people say that his bark is worse than his bite while he’s on duty, for its easy to sense a warm heart even in one who searches for passports! Master George Andrewes, when not fishin’, travelin’, or a plantin’, devotes much enery to his duties as S. A. Director and Faculty Athletics Manager. Master Andrewes loves leisure and will not ‘waste his time’ doing a problem in the assigned way; he uses a slide rule, and with remarkable accuracy. Master Benjamin Bushey is a disciple of Darius Green, for he has gone overboard on these flying machines. Master Bushey, as Techdom’s model architect, has on the side, distinguished himself by the work in his model shop. Master Butler, distinguished and attentive to his duties, works tirelessly as business adviser of the Tech Tiger, as quiller of the S. A. Board, and as ‘proxy’ poppa to his grand senior home room. Dame Eunola Hederman divides her time between her devoted goats, teaching a heavy curriculum, and developin’ dancers. Master Theodore M. Chase is a true ‘ringer’, and for his thoughtfulness to those prospective buyers of class rings; by special request, a word of thanks. Master Henry Hewitt has served our young men as Hi-Y advisor and has distinguished himself as editor of Techdom’s only weekly news service. He confesses that between his young son and his master mathema- ticians, the contact with the Hi-Y is uplifting! Mistress Mary Kelley enjoys tinkerin’ ‘bout her stove to produce delightful results as well as her new duties as advisor of the spirit- ed citizens of ’49. Mistress Edna Marston has been carrying a heavy load this past year enjoyin’ her duties as class advisor of the forty-niners, giving helpful hints to the needy, Mathematics Benjamin R. Bushey C.

“Ye menfolk will be especially interested in this: The Report of the Mechanical Drawing Department. ‘Fluent conversationalist in the ‘universal language’, mechan- ical drawing, Master Harold Brown seeks deserved relaxation put- terin’ in his garden, takin’ great pride in his produce. It is common knowledge it’s his joy, the apple of his eye. Away from the school- house Master Brown teaches mechanical drawing at Northeastern Uni- versity. Master Brown’s son was the featured soloist in the ‘Seven Last Words of Christ’ sung in this season’s Tech musical. Goodman Alexander Davis eats, sleeps, and drinks the art of mechanical drawing. His great skill and interest in his chosen field has led many graduates to accredit much of their success to his able direc- tion. Familiar to all scholars who have studied under the direction of Goodman Davis are his firm yet friendly words of discipline— ‘Now boys—enough of that.’ Goodman Davis is indeed a man known and well-liked, respected for his fine work, by all. Goodman Orley Duffin, aside from his board, puts forth much work as Business Manager of the Tech News, official organ of Techdom. Henry Black, Schoolmaster Goodman Duffin can be found in his crowded cubicle, surrounded by anxious aides, doing much of the behind the scene work which makes the publication of the Tech News possible. Goodman Duffin served actively as a discussion chairman of the West- ern Massachusetts League of School Publications during the conference held at Tech. Goodman Duffin serves, too, as a member of the Student Association. His door is always open for those wishing help or to do extra work. His kindly, thoughtful manner, has earned him a position of great popularity. Goodman Raymond Mackenzie is one who enjoys a bit of bowlin’ in the Schoolmasters League and the fun and friendship that goes with it. Goodman MacKenzie is a man’s man, he loves his pipe, the restful campin’ trips, and a hearty, jolly laugh. Familiar words to his students are the, “Omit the talkin’ boys—and produce!’’ Within Goodman MackKenzie’s classes an atmosphere stimulating and conducive to good work is always found. All the boys really appreciate their fine instructor, who, they say, is far too modest. He’s great! Goedman John Robinson is a pleasant chap who by his engaging personality has made many friends. Goodman Robinson can be seen every morning with a car full of happy students, glad to come to school with such a pleasant instruc- tor. Rustling about after school, when the hills are blanketed with a pure white robe, young ski enthusiasts who hold Goodman Robinson in high esteem are seen. After all, they explain, it was he who aided in the organization of Tech’s Ski Club, and supervised our first memorable ski excursion to Blandford.” Geodman Praiseall hesitated mcmentarily while waitin’ for folks to cease cranin’ their necks to see the aforementioned schoolmasters colorin’ modestly. Then he decreed-‘‘Ye Department of Shop Work. Master Roland Fitzroy, pattern makin’ and wood re pers ay ond E ghtack cae shop instructor, is a very busy man who is known for the keepin’ of the keys to our kingdom’s lockers. To see Master Fitzroy scurryin’ ‘round, flashin’ a smile to each passerby, is evidence of his busy Joseph M. Heenahan Mechanical Drawing
