Cen Clger cechnical High School Springfield, Massachusetts Volume 47 eee ates On The Aur The big moment is almost here—that time when Station WTECH makes its radio debut! Completely fascinated by the dramatic tension that prevails, we’re gathered in Studio “A” in the midst of all kinds of radio paraphernalia. The engineer behind the glassed-in control panel is now raising three fingers, a gesture which signifies “three minutes remaining,” just enough time to urge you to keep your radios tuned to this station for the “Who?” “What?” “Where?” “When?” and particularly the “Why?” of life at Tech. Tech is the most important part of our present young lives. In our youthful enthusiasm, we are more than eager that you may share in our school experiences. For that reason we are going to tell you the story of Tech so that the wholesome spirit of working together, which is so much a part of it, may find its proper place in your homes as well as in your hearts. Thus we have chosen radio as our theme—our hats off to modern science—to beam directly to you, our sponsors and listening audience, the proof that we are being ably trained to take our places as happy, useful, and intelligent citizens not only in our local but also in our broader world community. The little red hand on the studio clock is nearing our “zero hour” — split second timing is necessary—and we’re on the air with the TECH TIGER of 1950!

COMMERCIALS . ; : A ; ; ; : : : Te eat ae Directors and Producers Hello, everybody! Welcome to the first broadcast from radio station WTECH, whose studios are located at 53 Elliot Street, Springfield, Massachusetts. Before bringing you the star-studded, action-packed, informative program that we've planned especially for your listening enjoyment from its “sign-on” until its “sign-off” time, we should like to pause just a moment in order to revel in the wonderful feeling that the magical words “on-the-air” have given us—a sort of spine-tingling sensation in which all of the senses seem to unite to say, “It’s all yours now. Make something of it!” Now—Station WTECH proudly presents the first portion of the program which is entitled ““Meet the Producers!” Here to start us off in fine style is none other than Donald G. Gifford, our popular and busy assistant director. This morning we’re operating with a roving microphone which seems quite handy when. one considers the many persons, located all over the building, who must be interviewed in a limited amount of time on the air. But, enough of that! Hi, Mr. Gifford! We saw you through the doorway and hoped that you wouldn’t mind telling us something about yourself and your special interests; however, you don’t have to tell us what your favorite hobby is, because we already know. It’s fishing! I don’t believe that we’ll tell you listeners much more about Mr. Gifford’s annual triumph and joy than you al- ready know. We're speaking, of course, of the Tech “Tantrums” of which he is the director. For weeks before the show is scheduled to be given, he can be seen sleuthing around the studios, constantly on the lookout for anyone or anything that has a possibility of being a “hit” in the “Tantrums.” His diligence and cleverness “make” the show! If we had more time, we could relate many instances of Mr. Gifford’s splendid service to Tech, of his personal help to students, and of his warm-heartedness, but we must say so long for now to our friendly assistant director. Donald G. Gifford — Assistant Director 10 Dr. Leo Gans — Director Our director has just entered his own private studio. If we hurry, we’ll be able to catch him for an interview before he leaves for other parts. Good morning, Dr. Gans. . . . As many of you undoubtedly know, Dr. Leo Gans is a newcomer to our studios this year. He has come to us from Forest Park Junior High School where he served as principal from 1941-1943 and from 1946-1949. During the interim, 1943-1946, he served as Lieutenant in the U. S. Navy. Although there is much more to tell about his background, we’ll leave that for now in order that you may hear a little about his interests and hobbies. Our listeners will be interested and perhaps surprised to learn that he is an amateur (he modestly insists) pianist. Perhaps we’ll be able to persuade him to demonstrate in a not-too-distant as- sembly. We also learn that our director, as in the case of our assistant director, is a fishing fan, although he admits that his assistant is more serious about this sport than he is. Dr. Gans must keep time by a thirty-hour-a-day clock, for, in spite of all his activities, he has found the time to write several manuals and magazine articles; in addition, he is a co-author of a recently published book, Supervision of Physical Education. What a man! And now, with a slight microphone adjustment, this interview will continue. Tell us, Sir, what are your impres- sions of Tech? .. . . Fortunately, Dr. Gans is very favorably impressed with the whole set-up here. He especially likes the working atmosphere that prevails in the school and the wonderful co-operation with which faculty and students work for the betterment of Tech. For our part, we should like to feel that Tech fits our director’s definition of a good school —one what meets the educational and personal needs of all of its students. With such a director, what a future for Tech! The amount of time allotted for this interview is almost used up, so we’ll say goodbye and thank you, Dr. Gans. Your enthusiasm has given us confidence in the future. You’ve made our life at Tech a part of your own. al From the control rooms we climb the well-worn stairs, carefully carrying our microphone. Why, here comes tiny Miss Dorothy Adams, the owner of that sharp green convertible. Miss Adams really keeps the boys in her homeroom right on their toes. Around to the library we go in pursuit of Mrs. Helen Brazeau who seems to be running a three-ring circus this year with English classes, the library, and Tech News. Congenial Miss Alice Carey is our next interviewee. Miss Carey has endeared herself to members of her English classes as well as to those of the Tech Tiger Staff of which she is the literary adviser. Miss Carey occasionally finds time to enjoy a Broadway play or two. Mr. Sidney V. Doane, our popular instructor in Drama, gets a kick out of reading detective stories, gar- dening, and eating. With just a brief stop in 201, we learn that the sweet Miss Jean Hawkins has a love for flowers, leisurely reading, and travel. Miss Una D. Hilliker is her usual friendly self, even though her production Dorothy W. Adams Helen L. Brazeau Alice G. Carey Sidney V. Doane Jesse Richardson returns to our studios. activities include running a special news class and serving as photo- graphy adviser for the Tech Tiger. Because of her yearbook experience, she has been of invaluable assistance to this year’s staff. Mrs. Emma Lemay, one of the several advisers of the senior i ae class, admits that she is an ardent football fan! Not far from Mrs. na . illiker 3 5 Emma N. Lemay Lemay’s room is the habitat of Mrs. Dorothy Ruggles. A seashore enthusiast, she also likes driving and traveling. In addition to her pleasure in reading and traveling, Mrs. Sadie Tabackman enjoys spending her few leisure hours at a Broadway play. Just a few kilo- cycles from Mrs. Tabackman’s is 217, Miss May Whalen’s room. She has traveled widely and is well-known for her sunny smile and charm. With a sigh of relief for our walk-wearied feet, we approach Miss Leta Young for the final English interview. Miss Young is fond of vacationing in Maine. Dorothy D, Ruggles Sadie P. Tabackman English May E. Whalen Leta Young Again we take a firm grip on the roving microphone and wander over to the History Department for brief inter- views with the social studies experts. The first personality we encounter is Miss Jesse Bourn, who is willing to tell us of some of her main interests. She is quite an active member of the Springfield Business and Professional Women’s Club, the College Club, and the Mount Holyoke Club. Not only is Miss Bourn a lover of antiques, but she enjoys riding in her modern blue Ford. Miss Ruth Grady finds herself con- stantly on the go in order to keep up with her many diversified activities. She is an excellent adviser for the Class of 1950. Although absorbed in her favorite hobby of taking moving pictures, she also finds time to indulge her interest in the theatre. Miss Eleanor Reardon has very successfully guided the Student Council and its frequently harassed members through several years of fine student government. She is also the per- son responsible for the winners from Tech at the A. I. C. Model Congress, for she is their coach and counsellor. Not only has Miss Reardon an eye for interior decoration, but she is also an expert, we hear, in culinary art. Mr. Schuyler Van Sickle, one of the few members of the faculty who are making a return engagement here, has been teaching for the past three years at the Springfield Junior College. When he is able to find three other interested persons, Mr. Van Sickle revels in playing a few rubbers of bridge. If the weather is fair, however, he is more than willing to tread the fairways Henry Hewitt — with a problem and greens (never the rough!) for eighteen holes of golf. Now on to the Modern Language Department—Miss Elsa M. Jaede is one of the air-minded teachers, for recently she flew to Bermuda for a well-deserved, greatly enjoyed vacation. Miss Jaede is also interested in music and handwork. She has some beautiful laces that she acquired while traveling in France and Switzerland. One of the more diminutive and unassuming members of our teaching staff is Miss Mary Z. Mc Carthy. Not only is she an expert figure skater, but she is also a proficient swimmer in the waters near her island home. Her flair for artistic decoration is reflected in her excellent taste in clothes. With a slight tug on the microphone cord, we are able to move into Room 203 in order to get the latest news on Mr. Howard Mitchell, the dignified head of the Language Department. Mr. Mitchell is a golf enthusiast. He and Mr. Van Sickle should get together. On the more serious side, Mr. Mitchell is the author of several textbooks which are used here in school. Mr. Fales Newhall, the John Barrymore of the linguistic classes, hails from surburban Springfield and has his garden as his pet hobby. Other chief interests include chess and hiking. His secret ambition is to climb the Appalachian Trail, with his pet black cocker spaniel at his heels. Elsa M. Jaede Howard Mitchell Eleanor C. Reardon Mary Z. McCarthy Fales Newhall Schuyler C.

We never before realized that interviewing teachers could be so much fun! We’re learning things that we certainly never knew before! Members of the Science De- partment are crowding around the mike, so ’tis best that we begin. Good morning, Mr. Allan! Mr. Charles Allan, a physics teacher, is a very likable fellow who is the adviser for the Tech Hi-Y. He is also the student placement director. Mr. Wil- liam O. Brooks is an outstanding author of chemistry textbooks, and his fine accomplish- mfents have not affected his cheerful disposition. The mention of yearbook makes Mr. Nelson Butler sit up and take notice, for he is in charge of the business details of the Tech Tiger. He hasn’t failed in this capacity yet! The next gentleman to make his radio debut is Mr. William Clancy. With a perpetual twinkle in his eyes and a broad grin on his face, he is a favorite of all students who have him for physiography and meteorology. Why, who’s this coming down the hall? You may remem- ber his famous portrayal of Edger Bergen or Archie of “Tuffy’s Tavern.” He is none other than Mr. Frank McMahon, Mr. Sprague’s “Tantrums” sidekick. (By the way, we’re going to telecast that show this year). Two familiar faces are missing from this group. They are those of Mr. Herbert Northrup and Miss Mabel Potter. Mr. Northrup always seems to be smiling. Members of his chemistry classes enjoy his humorous remarks as well as the system- atic method by which he teaches. Miss Potter seems absorbed in studying specimens in various-sized jars. Miss Potter had a delightful experience last summer studying animal life in Florida. Ever since his speech during a football rally, a microphone has had a special charm for Mr. David Reid known as “Hec” He is a favorite of everyone in the school. The last gentle- man is an old radio hand, Mr. Jesse Richardson. He was instrumental in getting us a television set for watching the World Series, and he was a wonderful help on George Streeter Day. William J. Clancy Frank J. McMahon Herbert E. Northrup Mabel A. Potter David H. Reid Sczence Charles R. Allan William O. Brooks C. Nelson Butler, Jr. Mathematics ‘ Miriam E. Allen George A. Andrewes Perry M. Best Benjamin R. Bushey “Talent Plus” — Left to right: Mr. Woodworth, Miss Ratto, Mr. Kalloch, Miss Grady, Mr. Robinson, Dr. Theinert, Mr. Reid. The first of the Math producers is Miss Miriam Allen. She is an active member of the Springfield Business and Professional Women’s Club. In addition, she is one of the two ad- visers of the Tech honor society, Pro Merito. Mr. George A. Andrewes, our conscientious athletic director, was a great help to the Student Council in procuring lineups for the foot- ball programs. Another of our favorites is Mr. Perry Best. He took over a senior boys’ home- room with the skill of a man trained in the leadership of young men, and he won their co- operation without having to resort to his musical ability to charm them. The Freshmen of the school have a staunch supporter in the person of Mr. Benjamin Bushey. His homeroom was the first to get 100% in the S. A. drive last fall. Upon leaving 102, our cord gets wrapped around the legs of another faculty member. This doesn’t bother Mr. Theodore Chase. He is a sports enthusiast as well as a man who appreciates music. The treasurer of the S. A. is a nother member of the Math Department, Mr. Henry Hewitt. Tall and dark, Mr. Hewitt, who has a flair for horticulture, raises flowers around his house. Miss Mary Kelley is next on our list, so we’re now on our way to her well-ordered room. Good teaching seems to run in her family, for she also has two sisters in the teaching profession. Because Mr. Harold Schellenger is in charge of the showing of all moving pictures in the school, radio is certainly no mystery to him. He must like to mix his business with pleasure, for his hobby is taking moving pictures. Mr. Stanley Sprague’s chief hobby is shooting, and he delights in telling very corny jokes. From a brief interview with popular Dr. Helen Theinert we learn that she especially enjoys reading and traveling. The time is approaching for our sign-off, leaving us only a few seconds to meet Mr. Arthur Woodworth. He is interested in choral singing, camping, and gardening; he also spends some spare time serving as a re- serve officer in the U. S. Air Force. Henry A. Hewitt Howard W. Schellenger Helen N. Theinert Mary T. Kelley Stanley A. Sprague Arthur H. Woodworth Theodore M. Chase Mechanical Drawing-Art We’ve had such wonderful response from all the people on our program “Meet the Producers” that we’d better knock on wood before we continue. The men of the Mechanical Drawing Department are waiting to be interviewed, so let’s be off. Mr. Alexander Davis must have teaching in his very being. Not only does he instruct during the day, but he con- ducts evening classes at Northeastern University. Mr. Davis enjoys seashore sports on the Maine coast in the summer. Mr. Orley Duffin keeps busy as the business manager for the Tech News. He is fond of reading; he especially enjoys religious books. He has a rather unusual hobby for a mechanical drawing teacher: he collects butterflies and insects. The auditor for the Class of °50, Mr. Raymond Mackenzie, is now at the mike. He enjoys an evening of bowling, a sport in which he excels. If Mr. John Robinson ever severs his connections with the teaching profession, we could probably use him as a roving reporter. You see, he is an itinerant teacher, traveling from one classroom to another. His vacation seems to be no exception because he journeyed to Nova Scotia last summer. Dignified Mr. Chester Thorndike should be our next interviewee, but we’re having a little difficulty locating Tantrums Artists — left to right: Marge Kutil, Mr. McMahon, James Thaxton Alexander D. Davis Orley L. Duffin Raymond E. Mackenzie 5 as ° . : : him. Oh, here he comes! Mr. Thorndike’s main outside interest is his garden. And now we shall deal with another phase of skill with a pencil —in fact, not only a pencil but a paintbrush and an easel. We’re en route to the Art Department! The two producers for this fascinating subject are the kind of people who get things done without a great deal of fuss and bother. Because they are way off in an out-of-the-way corner, one might think that they are little known; however, because of their active John E. Robinson interest in school affairs, everyone knows Miss Helen Norrgard and Chester L. Thorndike MitloaRoe We are all very happy to have Miss Norrgard back as a fulltime production staff member. While she was temporarily working for another network (WCHS?), we missed her ingenious and timely bulletin boards. Under her capable direction, Miss Ida Roy’s classes have -pro- duced outstanding work in art. She has been most gracious, too, as- sisting dance committees, also our Tiger Staff. Helen Norrgard Ida B. Roy Shops It seems rather fitting that the interviews of the shop faculty of the school should commence with a chat with Mr. Roland Fitzroy, for he is one of the pioneer teachers of Technical High School. In fact, he has been with Tech since 1924. Mr. Fitzroy also teaches gardening in the ele- mentary schools in the summer time and paper hanging to other faculty members in his spare time. When I heard that Mr. Walter Hansen was to be interviewed immediately after Mr. Fitzroy, I had visions of transporting my micro- phone to the shore of a rippling brook, for Mr. Hansen is an avid fishing fan. Luckily, I found him in his first floor room, fishing pole in hand. However, he took time to mention his position as adviser to the Class of 1950. I might add that the seniors really appreciate him when dance-decorating time rolls around. Why, here comes a familiar person! Step right up to the microphone, Mr. Reed. I guess that everyone knows Mr. Howard Reed from his lunch room patrol, but I think that few realize that he is a great lover of outdoor life. Each summer, he takes charge of an ambitious group of people, and together they hike, fish, and, in general, revel in the beauties and wonders of nature. During the school months, Mr. Reed is the adviser of the Photo Club in addition to his work as a shop teacher. If you’ve a hankering for a horse that merely walks as fast as another trots, Mr. George Reynolds is the man Tech’s Mr. Spence George L. Reynolds Robert J. Spence Charles S. Winslow whom you should see. He makes his residence in the town of Agawam and holds the office of building inspector in that town. He is well qualified for that position, because, we learn, he spends his summer months building houses. After further questioning, Mr. Reynolds reveals that he spends from six in the morning until ten at night busy at work. Another of our well-liked shop personalities is Mr. Robert Spence. He is a teacher who has contributed a great deal to Tech; his enthusiasm is proof of this. Mr. Spence has five children; all are graduates of Tech. Besides the terrific task of being a fine Walter E. Hansen father for the group, Mr. Spence has found time to write feature Howe pee magazine articles. The final member of our shop crew is Mr. Charles (Handyman) Winslow. Whenever we have “mike” trou- ble, Mr. Winslow seems to be the fellow who solves our operating difficulties. The ability with which he, his classes, and the Stage Crew erect elaborate dance decorations and “out-of-this-world” sets for the plays and other Tech performances even amazes some of the “old hands” in the business. Roland V. Fitzroy Home Economics-Music- Guidance GUIDANCE CAN HELP YOU PLAN A, CAREER! © Lee S. Crabtree Melvin A. Lynch Miriam M. Whittemore “Just Between Us’ — Miss Whittemore Mrs. Dudley, Joan Dudley. Now it’s time for our talk with teachers of Home Economics on the third floor. Miss Helen Borrner is the first whom we meet, and she is anxious to tell us about her experiences in Europe last summer, but she must hurry to her special pattern-making class. From the wonderful aroma, there’s no doubt that Miss Beatrice Miller is busily planning for another social event. She has a marvelous collection of tempting recipes. Hello, Mrs. Parks! I'll raise the microphone, for, as you listeners know, Mrs. Goldie Parks is tall and dignified. She is a wonderful help when the girls wish to choose correct styles and patterns. Mrs. Parks has an unusual hobby of collecting doorways! Miss Eugenia Wilson has a very busy schedule, for she not only teaches home management, but she also ably trains the girls in nutrition and hygiene. . . . Listen for our next signal! When static seems to hinder our operations, the Guidance Department is the place to get fixed up. Mr. Melvin Lynch helps the boys solve their program difficulties, and he does an exceptionally good job of placing our graduates in suitable positions and colleges. Mr. Stanley Sprague is the counsellor for freshmen boys. With his jovial manner and understanding ways it doesn’t take him long to put these fellows “on the beam.” On the female side is versatile Dr. Helen Theinert whose counselling password might well be “Testing 1-2-3-4.” The fourth of this fine staff is Miss Miriam Whittemore. Her enjoyment of guidance work is supplemented by her delight in outdoor sports. Our own disc-jockey is friendly Mr. Lee Crabtree. With seemingly no more than a flick of his baton he has organ- ized some fine musical groups. — Keep tuned for our final portion! Helen G. Borrner Goldie S. Parks Helen N. Theinert Beatrice D. Miller Eugenia Wilson Stanley A. Sprague 18 Physical Education -O ffice Nurse Rena E. Bradley Marion B. Cummings Meet our nurse, Mrs. Parent Ethel J. Mitton Now comes the final portion of this program. The right man to start us off is Mr. Thomas Carey. As our new football coach, who has come to us from the University of Massachusetts, he has worked tirelessly to put our team “in shape:’ Now we should like to introduce Miss Miriam Hatch, one of our two popular coaches for girls’ athletics, also the owner of a new green convertible. The next person might be mistaken for the occupant of the last house on “Allen’s Alley?) We know him as Mr. John Kalloch. Johnny is the basketball coach, and he ably trains championship soccer squads. Tall and good-looking, Bill Lawler is our “Casey Stengel’? (That’s baseball coach!) In addition he assists Johnny with “hoopartists” and Tom with gridiron performers. This mike will have to be one that operates under water, for Mr. Milton Orcutt is next. As the swimming coach, Milt has come up with many champion teams and record-breaking individuals. Surprisingly enough, he even spends a great deal of his spare time swimming! One of our live-wire teachers is Miss Ann Ratto, an active producer. Besides coaching several afterschool sports and the cheerleaders, she trains individual groups for presentation in Tech shows. As the final portion of “Meet the Producers” approaches, we interview our engineers in the main control room. The head engineer, Miss Rena Bradley, is a very capable secretary and a hustler. In a special section we find Mrs. Marion Cummings busily typing for Director Leo Gans. Here is Mrs. Jo Mitton who makes certain that each student and teacher has what he needs (in the line of school supplies, that is)! But we must not sign off without a greeting to Mrs. Parent, our friendly nurse, whose smile and helpful manner have made her a favorite with us. Miriam Hatch Thomas J. Carey William J. Lawler Ann R. Ratto John R. Kalloch Milton H. Orcutt 19 The Big Story Flash! Here’s what we’ve all been waiting for: the two winners of the Charles F. Warner Achievement Medal! For you listeners who have just tuned in—this is the highest honor that may be awarded to any Tech student. Here is the official announcement: The Charles F. Warner Achievement Medal is awarded to Patricia Hamilton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Hamilton of 43 Rhinebeck Avenue. Because of her high ideals and unusual abilities, she has done all things well. Tech proudly makes this award in recognition of her outstanding qualities of leadership and willingness to serve, as well as her excellent record in scholarship and school citizenship. Pat has ably demonstrated a high quality of achievement here at Tech. Not only has she accepted responsi- bilities, but, by her resourcefulness, she has enriched the lives of others. Popular with students and faculty alike, she has won the admiration of all. Excellence in all activities has given her this highly deserved honor. And here he is, the co-winner of the Warner Achievement Award! William F. Moody, son of Mr. and Mrs. William F. Moody of 43 Wilmont St reet, has been awarded the Warner Achievement Medal for excellence in scholarship and in leadership. This reflects his high recognition and acceptance of the responsibilities of high school life. We all feel that Bill has done his utmost for Tech. He has given, many times, evidence of his personal integrity as well as of his high standards of citizenship both in school and outside. Bill is one person who can undertake many activities and attain excel- lence in all of them. He is more than a credit to Tech; his example is an inspiration to those who follow. Our sincere congratulations, Bill Moody. Station WTECH has taken great pleasure in announcing the Charles F. Warner Awards to these two fine Techites. This station and its listeners wish you, Pat, and you, Bill, all the luck in the world! 23 M. Marcus Kiley Former Director — Present Sponsor The Big Story continues with a special feature—and what a privilege it is for this broadcasting station to present it—a tribute from all of us Techites to a man who wholeheartedly and unselfishly directed and participated in Tech’s activities from 1936 to 1949, M. Marcus Kiley. Because of our time limit, it will be impossible to cover the wide range of his services to this school, but we shall be able to touch upon some of his activities. A spotlight on the control room might easily have revealed him making arrangements to take Tech boys to visit the submarine base at New London, securing industrial leaders in the community to take part in the “Technicade,” directing the installation of a Link Trainer in one of our classrooms, or simply having a friendly chat with one of the many students who sought his counsel and leadership. Continuing its arc, our spotlight might have found Mr. Kiley in the assembly hall where so often it was our privi- lege to listen to his kindly philosophy. There, too, we have seen him proudly presenting guest speakers and artists, of varied experiences, ranging from outstanding community leaders, technical and scientific experts, to equally well-known musicians and magicians. Incidentally, he always enjoyed the performances as well as any of us. Still on the lighter side, we scarcely ever attended a sports or social event without finding Mr. Kiley there cheer- ing for our teams. A lover of clean sportsmanship, he thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of good competition that our sports program offers. Our spotlight must move more rapidly now to the larger studios and control rooms next door to Tech. Here we now find Mr. Kiley in his new surroundings ably assisting in the administration of the whole network over which is told a story bigger than ours. Mr. Kiley has always been keenly interested in us, and if in future years we get there ahead of the “kid from yonder,” he may realize his share in our success. 24 tow ‘ite THE TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION presents to GEORGE WALLACE STREETER, III A COMMENDATION FOR His noteworthy service as freshman class _ president and school leader, whereby he has distinguished himself and his school.

This poor little microphone is undoubtedly being worn out by a rapid succession of interviews, although we would have been at a loss without our portable. At this moment, we’re ambling around the halls in an effort to find some excitement or some inter- esting people. Standing over in a corner, apparently holding up a group of student lockers, is a gathering of some of Tech’s famous “sidewalk engineers.’ There displaying his usual grin is Senior Ken Edwards. He is well known for his constant good humor. The fellow next to him is hard to distinguish without his saxophone, but I’m almost certain that he is Jay Sterling, Tech’s Claude Thornhill. Jay formed his own little group of musicians last fall, and these fellows do give out with some fine melody. On Jay’s left is Frankie De Simone, who needs hardly any introduction. Some of you may not know, however, that Frankie tickles us with his “ivory ticklings” in the “Tantrums.” The last in this group is Tim Healey, the Lone Junior. As the class treasurer, his cry could well be “Hi, ho, Silver!” Joyce A. Arnold Nancy C. Askew Claire M. Balboni Mildred A. Arsenault Sylvester A. Astorino Robert J. Bandzul “Melody Express” — Swing Band Rehearsal “All I want is loving you and music, music, music.” I’ll bet that you didn’t know that this roving reporter was a vocalist on the side. Frankly, I’m not, but that song has been going through my mind since the first time I heard it. It must be the infectious way music has of capturing people’s thoughts. Speaking of music, I believe I hear some maltreated strains of discordant harmony oozing up from the band room. Mr. Crabtree has called for candidates for the Tech Swing Band, and today is the first meeting of this organization. After a few practice sessions, these musicians will make up one of the slickest swing bands in the area. One might refer to these gentlemen as the “versatile verte- brae” for the Tech Swing Band is the backbone of the “Tan- trums.” Started when Max Ervin was here, it has become a fixture in the show. From key positions in this band, many fellows have been able to procure top jobs in local dance orchestras. Let’s leave these fellows to their rehearsing and travel on! Arthur R.

Honestly it seems as if we spend a great deal of time in this lunchroom. Of course, it is an ideal place to meet our friends. There seems to be a great deal of commotion going on at one of the far tables. Let’s meander over to see just what is cooking. Oh, I might have known. Bruce Grant, one of our television experts, is vainly trying to get a natural shot of a group of seniors who spend a great deal of time clowning around. Poor Bruce is having a pretty hard time, though, because they are intent on posing for him. Now, I think I recognize some of the kids here. Why, of course! There’s “Babe” Connolly, the female star of “Mother Is A Freshman.” What a riot that play was! “Babe”—Evelyn to some of you—gave an excellent portrayal of the rather mature college freshman. Barbara Nassif is also in that lively group. She is evidently get- ting quite a kick out of what is going on. Barb is the Student Council secretary, and one of our outstanding seniors. “Les artistes’ Tom Poots and Eric Zepke are en- joying the joke as much as anyone else. I wish they would let us in on it. Tom and Eric are Miss Roy’s “wonder boys” and their excellent paintings can fre- quently be seen on display up in the third floor show- cases. At last the joke is out! It’s Tom’s leading gag line from the “Tantrums.” Albert P. Bushey Barbara M. Butman Richard R. Carnevale Robert J. Carney Gladys S. Caron This is your roving reporter again, all set to give you the lowdown on the Tech Library. If you recall, we had an interview with the librarian, Mrs. Brazeau, just a short while ago. We’re going to get some infor- mation on the library itself this time. The Tech Library is thriving very well in its new location, Room 222, in the sunny corner of the school. You certainly can remember the library when it was in its old home, 229, or when it was in the stages of being moved. My gosh, it seemed as if Mrs. “B.” would never get those books and magazines sorted out and put on the correct shelves. Surprisingly enough, however, before anyone could say “Swift Family Robinson” five thousand times, everything was in apple pie order, and the library began to flourish. Every minute of the school day, students use the pects Topiary excellent facilities accorded them in this modern, well- je AY stocked library. This room boasts the possession of many nner ANC L UM well-known novels, numerous fine books of non-fiction, an abundant supply of textbooks and encyclopedias, and ° ° : : George L. Clark Wallace G.

De Marche Thomas L. Demas Hi, Henry! Hey,—Henry, hi! Well for Pete’s sake, I never realized that anyone could get so absorbed in his work that he would completely ignore everything else. It seems as if this portion of our broadcast will have to be a soliloquy by yours truly, the ambling announcer. We have entitled this “One Man’s Opinion,” and_ perhaps nothing else typifies the democratic system at Tech quite so well as that. Here every person is free to express his likes and dislikes. That’s one more reason that we go for Tech! Henry Daubney One Man’s Opinion Robert N. Desautels Frank P. De Simone, Jr. Barbara De Vincent L. Arthur Dibble Joan Dionne Madge Dionne 31 Richard C.

This is your roving reporter stationed down in the Tech lunchroom. The time is 11:10 on a schoo] morning. In three minutes the lunch bell will ring and — well, let’s wait to see what happens. Mean- while, a little description of this immense eating room might make this report more interesting. The lunch room, divided into three main sections, seats about 600 students at a time. In a special alcove, just off the main dining room, is the teachers’ lunch room. On one side of the spacious room are several counters and display shelves where the students may purchase their noon meals. Several movable carts are located at vantage points in the lunch room for those students who buy only milk, since they bring their lunches from home. The Student Patrol members are already eating so that they may start their work of patrolling when the main horde comes in to eat. Oh, the bell is ringing! I can hear — perhaps you, too, are able to hear—the rumble on the stairs leading to the lunch room. And here they come! Every one of these boys and girls seems to know just where he is -going. Some head for the lunch lines, while others make a bee-line for some particular table and begin eating and chattering animatedly, for lunch time is time for letting off steam. I’ll leave these kids to their playful noon day frolics now and go to grab a bite to eat myself. Joan C. Elliot Harold A. Ely M. Nancy Esslinger Kenneth S. Edwards Shirley M. Ekberg Joanne S.

Bill and Hal are both seniors, you know, and with some encouragement they consented to tell us a little about their class activities. Ever since they were freshmen, the mem- bers of the Class of 1950 have been “on the ball” and into everything. This year is no exception, and wherever something unusual occurs, a senior is gen- erally the underlying cause. Last fall, the class got under way with a terrific informal dance, “Wun Long Hop.” Where these kids get their ideas for dance themes remains a mystery to me, but they have always come up with spectacular affairs. Why, I remember that they, as freshmen, transformed the boys’ gym into a “Starlite Carnival” complete with a merry-go-round in the center. Then, as juniors, they headed for the Tennessee hills with “Dogpatch Doin’s.” In the spring of the same year, these kids were submerged in work for the “Sea Swirl.” The seniors do more than dance, however. The impressive list of them on the Pro Merito enrollment is ample proof of that. It has been wonderful chatting with these two fellows. I wish that we could spare more time to hear about all of their activities, but “time marches on” and so must we. We wish to tell them only how lucky they are to be members of the Class of ’50!

Grundstrom Arnold C. Hall Patricia A. Hamilton A mathematics room in the middle of a class period would hardly scem to be the place for a good picture, but George Busha offers a wonderful study of a senior hard at work. Of course, the members of the Class of 1950 have been telling me for some time now how very hard they all have worked. George is proof that they really did! Gilbert L. Hansen George Busha Richard V.

The program arrangement calls for a meeting with celebrities at this time, and who’s here to fill the bill but two of Tech’s top men-about-the-school—Joe Gulluni and Johnny Pasteris! Joe is a member of the Senior Class, and probably one of the most outstanding ones. We first became aware of his unusual ability when we sat, mouth open, watching one of his long push shots from the center of the floor swish through the basket. He turned out for the baseball team, too, and also won a position on our football squad. Johnny, a quiet sort of chap, ranks up near the top when seniors are listed, scholastically and by virtue of personality. He has concentrated his activities on basketball and baseball. In each sport he plays a swell game of “heads-up” ball. But—there’s the bell. That means that this announcer must be on her way to the assembly hall. Robin B. Lewis Joanna F. Little Donald T. Lombardi Richard W. Lindman Leonard K. Lockley Clark S. Lowe “Judo” assembly We just love the assignments we get to cover assemblies here in school, and today’s assembly is no exception. Word has leaked out that we’re to witness a demonstration in the old art of self- defense, ju-jitsu or “judo,” as it is popularly called. The kids have all filed into their places, and now the curtain is opening for the exhibition. Our two demonstrators have done a large amount of training for the teaching of “judo” so that I know we're in for a treat. What punishment the bodies of those men seem to be taking! It must have taken them months to learn how to fall just right. As they go through their routine, these gentle- men are describing the correct holds and weight shifts necessary to make “judo” a real defense against an attacker. Even a special word of advice is addressed to the ladies in the audience for pro- tection against molesters. Well, there’s the bell for assembly dismissal. See you all later! Hartley J. McCullough J.

It is an actual televised inter- view from Tech’s “House of Mystery” or the elec- tonics class. We were rather hesitant about entering this room, Mr. Richardson’s domain, but Theresa Le Blanc, one of the girl students who had courage to tackle electronics as a major subject, told us that without electronics there would probably be no radio. Imagine that, no radio! What a horrible thought! Of course, a challenge such as that can not go unanswered, so in we go to the electronics class. It is the middle of a class period now, and these young “Tom Edisons” are deep in study and experimenta- tion. I’m certain that some of the electrical wizards, other than Theresa, are familiar to me. Let’s see.— Why, of course, there’s David Paine deep in con- centration. Very near David, is Ken Edwards. I hope Tech’s House Of Mystery that Ken isn’t “gumming up the works.” Near the other work-table I can discern Jay Sterling, and Electronics Class across from Jay, attired in ear-muffs—I mean ear- phones—is Donald McCarthy.

This is, of course, your old friend, the roving reporter. You know, I certainly bless the man who invented a transportable mike, because without it, we certainly wouldn’t be able to take you directly to all the activities we now include. Right at this moment, we’re strolling along the north cor- ridor on the main floor. What’s that noise? It sounds like singing, and it’s coming from the assembly hall. Let’s go in and see what’s cooking. We're inside the assembly hall now. Grouped around the organ in the front of the hall is a crowd of happy, shiny-faced kids. Upon questioning one of them, we find that the annual Christmas assembly, which this year was ‘““Why the Chimes Rang,” has just finished. Some of the onlookers returned to classes for carol singing while others lingered on to sing these Christmas favorites with organ accompaniment by Evelyn Alsing. Christmas is certainly a happy time here at Tech, a time when everyone is even more friendly toward everyone else. The Christmas spirit permeates and warms the heart of every single person connected with this institution for learning. Of course, you must realize that the friendly spirit, which makes a grand display during the Christmas season, is actually one of the permanent features that add to Tech’s greatness as a school. We use the motto, “One for all, all for one,” as a meas- uring stick for our daily work and accomplishments. Be sure to stay tuned! William D. Murray Barbara A. Nassif Walter A. Newell, Jr. Rose A.

Pratt Jerry C. Quill Elizabeth M. Profiglio Clifford E. Quimby Hi, Al! For the benefit of our listening audience, our roving microphone has in- vaded the silence of a study hall. Alfred Alberghini, shown hard at work, is typical of the students, all of whom cram during their study in order to avoid carrying an extra book home. A study hall has its lighter side, too; for instance, there’s the occasional note- passer or the fellow who tries to get the at- tention of the blonde two seats away. I’m glad that we stopped here, for no school picture is complete without a snap- shot in a study hall. Alfred Alberghini George M. Quinlan George H. Randall Kathleen G. Quinn Harry T. Ray, Jr. Ring the fire alarm! Call out the vol- unteers! I see a flame down the hall. Holy Cow! It’s drawing nearer. Oh, for heaven’s sake! My “flame” is only Joe Lucerino, the rubicund-headed accordian player. Joe has been keeping his talent hidden for two years, but finally this year the achievements of his fe , Joan T. Reece nimble fingers have caught the attention of Elsie G. Reimers everyone at Tech. As is often the case, the Partie ee “Tantrums” brings out unknown talent from many of Tech’s budding young stars.

Scully Your roving reporter has now switched, oh no, not to orange crush, but to a “walkie-talkie.” This change was necessary so that we could take you out- side of the school for a better report on our Driver Education course here at Tech. You see, we, too, are grimly aware of the appalling number of automobile accidents which are attributed to the carefree and careless driving of teen-agers who have not been prop- erly trained in the correct method of handling an automobile. It is our aim to help erase this black mark placed against us and our contemporaries all over the country. First of all, as part of the physical education course here at Tech, all juniors and seniors have an : opportunity to take Highway Safety. In this class, . these fellows and gals learn the state laws governing the operation of a car, the parts of an automobile, and other essentials basic to driving.

This well-liked producer is very busy as adviser of WTECH’s Student Council and Model Congress delegates among whom are some winners. “Tf it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere well it were done quickly.” Isn’t that a quotation from Macbeth I hear? As we pass by Room 205 with our “roving candid mike,” we hear this familiar line. We must look in and see what is going on.

This room seems especially quiet, so we will go in and see what is going on. How strange that these students seem so studious today! Could it be that there is a test coming up? As I look around, I recognize only two students: Barbara Scholes and Steve Whitman. We are back in the hall again. As we peer into another room, we are so curious that we’ll enter. Over there in the corner are Donald George and Gerry Drewes so absorbed they do not notice us. We must not stay in this room any longer as we have many more classes to see and many more persons to interview.

Now with all this enthusiasm over food, our listeners will be running out on us for a snack (maybe we’ll join them), but we urge them to stay tuned to hear a few announcements fol- lowed by a special feature program. Our next program comes to you from the Tech Gym (Studio “G”) on this Friday night, the thirteenth of January. Yes, Listen- ers, this is the night of the Snow Shuffle, the dance sponsored by the G. A.

Yes, this is a gala night for all members on this annual date at studio WTECH. We now take our mike into one of the shops. Ah, over there is David Schellenger who seems to enjoy his shop work as much as his famous father enjoys math. Who knows, maybe he, too, will someday be a member of the super-station WTECH staff, otherwise known as the Tech Faculty! We leave the studio to join an architectural class that is examining a new home that is being built. Over to our right are two seniors, Bill Noyes and Donald Lombardi, but they seem in- terested in something, so we will not disturb them for an interview.

Crash! Bang! What was that? There seems to be some commotion out in the corridor. As I look on the floor I see combs, bobby-pins, lip-stick, compacts and almost every- thing under the sun. Yes, it is two of our staff members, Maryellen Visconti and Lorraine Gentile, who seem to have had a slight mishap. Here’s the man with the “roving mike” again. As I pass by Room 228, I see Miss Kelley busy at her desk with Bob Gibson. Bob, like many other members of WTECH, seems to be stumped by a math problem. At WIECH we have good math courses in order that we may be better able to keep up to the rapid progress of this scientific age. December 2, 1949, was a great day at this station. Our direc- tor, Dr. Gans, proclaimed it George Streeter Day. On this day we at Tech showed the world how much we all appreciated what George Streeter had done for the school and what we wanted to do for a wonderful friend. By contributions from all members, we were able to buy him a television set. Good luck, George; all of Tech is rooting for you! Attention, Seniors, the day is approaching! Yes, the day of the senior dance, “Wun Long Hop,” is near. You may gather from the name that the theme is Chinese. We see in Room 313 Jim DeMarche, Joan Monaghan, and Barbara Nassif busily paint- ing a picture of a dragon for the scene in back of the band.

Yes, Listeners, it is Bob Rubner, Tech’s great oarsman! Would you please tell us, Bob, how you won the National Award for Tech and something about VOurseli® . 0: As we continue our walk through the school, we peer into a physics class and notice a few members of Studio “S” busy working on a physics experiment. These busy scientists are Gerry Drewes, Jim DeMarche, and William Cowing. Here is the man with the roving mike again! What is all the noise coming from this room? We must go in to investigate what is going on. One might have known it would be a group of senior boys discussing the events of the day. As we walk down the front hall, we look into our director’s office. We must have startled Dr. Gans, who Left to right: George Busha, Al Alberghini, Paul Pannier, Bill Cowing is busy working at his desk. This is his first year as director of this studio, and he is doing a marvelous job all the time. Continuing down the hall, we see two senior boys, Joe Costantini and Bob Freese, coming toward us. From the smiles on their faces, one can readily see that they are proud to be members of this studio, WTECH. Gans. Joe Costantini, Bob Freese. Hit Parade Upper: A few of the band members en route to Orange Music Festival. Center: Richard Wohlfahrt, Donald Pratt. Lower: Jim DeMarche, Henry Daubney. It looks as though that Lucky Tech Band is about to leave for the Orange Music Festival. We would like to go with them, but the bus looks crowded so we'll have to be content to listen to the concert through WTECH. Admiring one of the many shop displays for “Mother Is A Freshman” (which was, of course, our school play) are Richard Wohlfahrt and Donald Pratt. They look most enthusiastic, which probably means two (or maybe four) more tickets are sold. Jimray DeMarche and Henry Daubney appear to be lost in concentration. Perhaps their effoits will lead to another “A.” But more likely the boys are plotting a script for the “Tech Tan- trums,” which returns to the air in March. Our next program from WTECH comes from the seems to be illustrating the correct use of a hammer and girls’ gym. Today there is a Gemonstration of modern other shop equipment. dancing. Our star performers, Evelyn Connolly and Mary Jane Wenk (both members of our Tiger Staff), are demon- strating the techniques ot the modern dance.

All of this is probably very baffling to our feminine listeners, but they can look Jimmy up and have the problem cleared for their pretty little heads. After all, this station brags of a complete coverage of the news and wants all the women to go ahead and demand an explanation of what’s going on in the physics lab. Joe Viani. As a special feature today we shall interview some other members of Studio “S” of WTECH. The first person on our list is Joe Viani. Besides being one of our baseball stars, he has time to demonstrate his ability on a machine in one of our shops. Like all other members of this station, Joe is very proud to be a part of such a wonderful institution. For our next interview, we shall go to Room 311. The first person we see is the genial Mr. Hewitt, one of our popular math teachers. Crowded around him are three members of Studio “S,”’ John Turnbull, Jim DeMarche, and Frank Miele. These boys have been active in class affairs and have done their part to make the class of 50 one of the best ever. While we are on the third floor, we shall stroll over to the control room. In this amateur room, we see a popular member of Studio “S’? Kenny Edwards. This year the radio room of WTECH received its license to communicate with other amateur broadcasting stations. This room is popular with boys who are interested in radio, as they can work on a larger scale more effectively than they could if limited to smaller sets. So you can readily see that Tech’s interest in radio is a real one. Abilities developed here may lead to careers later. Upper: Jim DeMarche, Mr. Richardson. Center: John Turnbull, Jim DeMarche, Mr. Hewitt, Frank Miele. Lower: Ken Edwards. Features We now take our roving “mike” into the Assembly Hall (Studio“A”). What do we have here? I do believe that is Miss Hilliker and Bruce Grant up on that ladder, and all around us are smiling Pro-Merito members. The occasion for this gathering must be to take the division page pictures, but from the looks of this picture, the tables (cameras) are turned. Onlookers Elvin Eady and Archie Williams, below, appear to be baffled by this strange turn of events. Walter Cygan, Jim Siano. Are you puzzled by this picture? We were, too, until we interviewed Walter Cygan. To all our wondering listen- ers, we shall try to explain. Station WTECH will not keep any secrets from its friends. In this picture Walter Cygan is explaining the fundamentals of a micrometer to Jimmy Siano. While this demonstration is going on, one of our alert photo- graphers from WTECH is here to snap a picture which will go down in history. “WTECH was there!” Wherever there is news being made, we’re there. Today the news comes from one of our class rooms. Three of our stars from Studio “S” are there. They are Bob Gibson, Donald George, and Jerry Tober. What could they be doing? They are probably writing some script for a forthcoming program or thinking up jokes for one of our comedians. The next person to come up to our microphone is Mr. Richardson, one of our well-liked physics teachers. The interested participants in his class are all members of Studio “S.” As we look in we see two of our old friends from previous programs. ‘They are George Busha and William Cowing. Our time is running out, so we now fold up our “candid” microphone, hoping that you have enjoyed our informal tour of Tech’s many studios.

Over The Airways We now go into Studio “J” for the portion of this broad- cast featuring and starring those “in-betweeners” who go under the dignified title of members of the Junior Class. We caught two of them in the hall, wandering around without passes, in fact, and we finally persuaded them to start the program on its merry way. So—Station WTECH brings you “Junior Junction.” This station is not responsible for anything from here on in—Go ahead, Juniors! (Off mike) We are really stuck, for we don’t know where to start. We fear it may be a “clambake”—a poorly organized program—for we haven’t our script here. Anyway, here goes! By way of introduction we might say that we members of the Junior Class are the ones who are in the exact center of the crossroads; that is, we’re between the freshmen and the seniors. How would you like to hear about some of our activities? On October twenty-eighth the ball was kicked off and began rolling down the yard lines. Yes, it was our first Junior dance, “The Kick Off.” That’s the thing that really set our class a- spinning. The gym was magically transformed into a football field, complete with a stuffed football player on a pedestal in the center. Orange and black streamers crossed the ceiling to form the yard lines. Nothing was forgotten, not even “Ye Olde Hot-Dogge Stande,” which was equipped with real hotdogs, cokes, and bags of peanuts—but no attendant. Paper footballs and pennants connected by streamers decked out the bleachers to everyone’s satisfaction. Carmen Rovosa, with his fourteen- piece dance band, supplied the sentimental music. Fellows and girls from all classes (even the Junior Class) could be seen joy- ously dancing throughout the evening. The time finally arrived when we were able to order our class rings. You should have seen the crowd around Room 107 every period! It’s a wonder Mr. C. E. Thompson didn’t pull his hair out with all those ring sizes floating around. It seemed Kneeling, left to right: Lois Trites, Barbara Miner, Lorraine Gentile. Standing, left to right: Ann Burian, Phyllis Ouimette, Barbara Blomstrom, Pat Cardaropoli, Barbara Anyon. 58 like an extremely Jong wait until we received our rings, but March finally rolled around, and we were able to put them on. As usual, we exchanged them with someone special. We spent the rest of the day trying on rings and admiring them. Tuffy was trying on rings, too, but on his tail. We almost got ourselves removed from Mr. Hewitt’s geometry class that day for causing such a disturbance. The announcer keeps pulling us toward him because we are “out in the alley” (out of microphone range). I guess we’re a little afraid of the mike. Here comes an orange and black striped object creeping toward us! Guess who it is! That’s right—Tuffy, our cute little Tiger mascot! He’s just the person we are looking for. We grab Tuffy by his whiskers and ask him to say a few words about the Junior Class into the mike. All he does is growl that he is sorry he has to hurry because he has a date with “Una” D. Hilliker in Room 211 that minute, but he’ll return later. That lucky cat! We guess we might as well continue solo. Before we go any further, there are a few people we should mention. We know our classmates will agree with us. Those people are our class advisers who have done and are still doing a great deal for us. They really have kept us out of “grief” (trouble). Our thanks aren’t enough to give them. Why, we could talk all day about what they have done for us, but we notice by the signals that our time is running short. All the credit for conducting our class events smoothly is given to our faithful advisers: Mr. Robinson, Mr. Clancy, Miss Ratto, Miss Roy, Mrs. Parks, and Miss Wilson. Then, too, there is always that sweet music which the coins and the bills make coming from Room 208, Mr. New- hall’s room. He’s really in the dough! Our class seems to support any campaign no matter what it may be. What a wonderful class we’ve got! Now, for instance, our school conducted a “George Streeter Day,” as most of you may have heard. The response our class gave proved that we were back of this campaign 100%. Some of us juniors didn’t even know George at all, but we heard he was a wonderful fellow and Techite, so we wanted him to have a little happiness. 59 First Junior Dance—‘“The Kick-Off”. Gene Herbert, Tuffy, Angie Lucia. Enrico Serra, Richard Roncarati. Look who’s a-coming. Tuff! He has returned just as he promised. Tuffy wants to say something. Let’s hear what he has to say. What’s new, Tuffy? You look as if you have worked hard. “Meow. You know Miss Carey’s newly painted room. On my way down here I had to pass her homeroom of junior boys. As I trotted by her door, I heard some strange noises comin’ from there. You people know how I always stick my big whiskers wherever they don’t belong. Well, I decided to in- vestigate. I pushed the door open with my paw, and I barely got myself through the doorway when some- one pulled my tail. Ow, my tail! The next thing I knew, I found a piece of cloth and wax in my paws and then they put me to work waxin’ desks! I did such a good job that they offered to pay me. I was placed in a seat and the boys began givin’ me a paw shine (of course they shined their shoes before they did mine). Never again will I stick my whiskers where they don’t belong. Well, I'll have to go now; I hear a commotion down the hall. I’ve got to in- vestigate.” Bye, Tuffy, and thanks a lot; we’re sure our listeners enjoyed your story. Among the juniors to whom we point with pride is John Donovan. He has been appointed acting president of the Student Council because of the ab- sence of George Streeter. His participation in school activities has proved that he is able to hold this office. We know that George is proud of John, as we are very proud of him. We feel that he will be a great success in school work and in his other activ- ities. When the robins returned to Springfield, they were able to find things budding other than trees.

To Our Listeners 61 around Springfield played hosts to groups of Tech juniors who might be referred to as budding authors. Yes, our one-thousand-word themes, which we juniors love so much, were almost due. The boys seemed to be partial to any subject which dealt with phases of sports or sports life. Some of the members of the distaff side of this class chose more feminine subjects extending from styles to housework. When the dead- lines for these themes were announced, they seemed in the distant future, but, as we all know, time has a special way of catching up with us. The last few days before the deadline were filled with a confusion that can be compared with catching a train at the moment it departs from the station. We were proud of our accomplishments, however, and our marks proved that our efforts had not been in vain. We had our second class dance in the spring, and it goes without saying that sure as shooting it was a success. It was our first formal dance, and it brought some real excitement to us juniors. The committee took extreme care with all the details. Even though everyone wanted to have a good time, there seemed to be sadness in the air. The sadness was caused by the thought that this would be our last junior dance and that there would be only two more class dances and a senior prom. When we returned from our spring vacation, the excitement of elections was in the air. Many members of the class took out nomination papers and had them signed by their classmates. Following a cam- paign assembly, the voting began. The fine list of officers and Student Council members assured us of a wonderful senior record. This brings to a close our program about the Tech juniors. We hope you will listen next year, but remember, then we’ll be Seniors! Welcome, S trangers mirrrricey i Left to right: Virginia Wellette, Nancy Fatzinger, Virginia Coburn What the well-dressed Techite wears—Mr. Sidney Taylor and talk things over. Wilfred Smith. Now, with merely the flick of a switch, we take you to Studio “F” where there is assembled as keen a crowd of young folks as you could hope to find anywhere. We were going to tell their story for them, but these kids seemed so enthused about presenting their own brief high school history over the air waves that it was practically impossible to refuse them. So—the next broadcast you will hear will be “The Voice of Young America.” (Off mike) Well, come on up to the mike, Freshies; don’t be afraid! This is your chance to tell us your story. . . The all-important day arrived—that day when we were to make our debut as high school freshmen. At the very beginning of this new adventure, we were all gathered in the assembly hall which was teaming with excitement and anticipation. Each of us sat on the edge of his chair in his eagerness to hear the welcome by the school officials, and the wide open invitation to begin to take an active part in Tech activities. Just before the close of the assembly, our homerooms were assigned to us, and we left the assembly hall to find our temporary three-year “homes.” Many of us be- came rather confused in our search, but with the advice of several upperclassmen, some helpful, some not, we finally ar- rived at our various destinations. Our homeroom teachers were there to meet us, and what a grand group they were! None of our scores of questions seemed to baffle them; indeed, they made the first few hours much less confusing. For sev- eral days, Tech seemed to be a hopeless maze or at least a Chinese puzzle. Little by little, we began to recognize land marks and no longer made innumerable trips around and around the building in an effort to find a certain room. There never seemed to be much trouble in locating the lunch room, however! It seemed as if we had just become an actual part of the great Tech organization when an assembly conducted by the Student Council was held, and we were informed of our approaching duty of electing the officers of our class. For the next two or three days everyone was running around taking out nomination papers, having them signed by forty classmates and a few teachers, and returning them to the Old Library. On the day before elections, another assembly was held and all the candidates for all the offices were introduced to us. The following morning we began voting in earnest; all of us wanted a chance to see our choices appear as winners. After the polls had closed, the votes were carefully counted, and the results tabulated. We learned that Archie Williams had been elected our president by a narrow margin of two votes over his nearest opponent, Vin Di- Left to right: Josephine Boryczka, noe Lorenzo. In fact, the voting was so close that a re-count was necessary Nancy Sears, Priscilla Belcher. j before Archie was sure of his victory. As Archie’s close consultant and co-worker, we chose Richard LaBine. Carol Gifford was our choice for the position of secretary, and Phillip Landon was willing to handle all our money matters, accepting his election as our treas- urer. To represent us in the active Student Council, our votes showed our choices to be Nina Caolo, James Gatsios, Carol Gifford, Phil Landon, Dave Mallalieu, Richard Moll, and Archie Williams. With a slate of officers like this, we couldn’t help striving to attain great heights at a rapid pace. Don’t touch those dials, Folks! We still have much more interest- ing news to tell you.— From Studio “F’’ 64 Mr. Archie Williams was right there when his class needed him, and it wasn’t long before he had a Constitution Committee all lined up. At our first class meeting, we became officially organized under one general set of laws, and then we began to roll! We freshmen girls became all enthused over the wonderful opportunities the Girls’ Athletic Association offered to us, and it didn’t take us long to discover the value of this organization. To- gether we splashed in the swimming pool, had loads of fun on picnics and hikes, took our few necessary spills on roller and ice skates, and planned a bang-up dance. We also saw many of our own classmates participating in the after-school sports of basketball, volleyball, soft- ball, and field hockey. An assembly especially for girls was held, and there we freshmen became acquainted with the Tech Nisimaha Club. We didn’t need a second invitation to become active members in that wonderful group of girls. Sports, of course, extended its usual welcome hand to the male athletes of the school. The unseasonably mild autumn weather invited many of the fellows to report to Blunt Park for football and soccer practice. The coaches began to weed out the potential first-stringers from a large group, and, even though many of us didn’t quite make the grade, we’ll be back again next fall in a new attempt to wear our school colors on the gridiron or soccer field. Some of us lasted on the team, however, and on frequent occasions such outstanding freshmen as Archie Williams and Vin DiLorenzo even outshone their upperclass teammates. We’ll keep an eye open for thrills from their swift running in future games. As the colder weather closed in on the school, the athletic interests quickly turned to the sport of the polished floor. Here the freshmen were not to be outdone, and some proved themselves worthy of positions on this basketball team. Carol Gifford and Patty Lee Bennett with Tech Tiger dummy. A broadcast from Blunt Park in the spring of the year was highlighted by outstanding feats of the Tech baseball team on which several freshmen fellows won envied positions. The spring of the year also intrigued members of our class to join in the lively competition on the cinder track. And now we present the quiz portion of our “Voice of Young America.” Here is the sixty-four dollar question: What do Tech freshmen have that no other freshmen in the public high schools in Springfield have? Are you baffled? The money-winning answer is orientation, of course. This remarkable course may be the underlying reason that we caught on to Tech life so quickly, found our way around the no-longer confusing corridors, became well acquainted with our various subject teachers, and learned the best possible ways to train for the vast number of opportunities that our curricula at Tech offer to us; in addition, our half year course in orientation taught us to be at ease socially and in the public eye by training us in the practice of correct manners. We certainly had fun during those 1M periods! How we used to enjoy the excursions to the museums and the library. We certainly are able to remember vividly the trip we took to the school’s social room, where Miss Beatrice Miller showed us boys and girls the proper ways to make intro- ductions and to behave when dining out in public. Assistant Director Donald Gifford and his capable committee worked out this interesting program which accorded us so much pleasure while it helped us “find ourselves.” Left to right: David Easton, Roger Giguere, Nicholas Left to right: Roger Dudeck, Angelo Strathis, Dick Ferris Giuggio study plans. help with decorations.

He is mighty proud of his Rootin’ Tootin’ Tigers. A pawful of us cubs went out for the first audition of this military band, and quite a few of us were suc- cessful in gaining positions in this musical body. All decked out in the colorful orange and black uniforms, with our bright new overseas caps at a jaunty angle on our heads, we were really something to see and hear at assemblies, rallies, and dif- ferent athletic contests. We freshies who were added to this outfit are Diane Bartels, Patty Bennett, Joan Charon, Virginia Coburn, Thomas Cocchi, Alan Greenfield, Russell Jordan, Fred Kapleta, Robert Kiley, Robert Lalli, Edward Larson, Charles Luprin, Ray Reilly, Norman Richardson, and Ernest Stelzer. (Phew!) We certainly are quite a crew. What would the upper- class members of the band ever have done without our contri- butions? Of course, out in front leading the band, were some really sharp, peppy drum majorettes. Naturally, some of these girls were our distinguished classmates. By the way, how many of vou are the lucky owners of television sets? If you don’t have one, you’d better start saving your pennies in order to purchase a set by next fall. You see, several of the female members of this class worked very hard to get in shape to fill the places left by senior girl graduates on the cheerleading squad. They are all prepared to boost our teams’ spirits for the next two years. Speaking of television sets reminds me of the drive the entire school put over for the purchase of one on George Streeter Day. None of us really knew George very well, but 66 = Bill Alfonso—Just thirsty. Close-Up the juniors and seniors did such a fine job of convincing us of George’s excellent character and previous contributions to the school that we made a fine showing when the money was counted. It gave us a sort of “warm-all-over” feeling to be a part of a school with such fine spirit. By what we’ve said previously, our listening audience might believe that this class was “all brawn and no brain.” This can easily be disproved by the formidable Pro Merito membership list which was issued in February and on which so many of us discovered our names. We were eager to become journalists, so we decided to try to belong to the school newspaper, the Tech News. Others wanted to learn how to put a yearbook together. We were interested to know about the scheme of taking pictures for this book and the style of writing used in it. We were, therefore, especially delighted when we learned that we had been admitted to the Tech Tiger staff. Our talents were not limited to writing, however. Some of the girls acquired jobs on the Lunch Patrol. A selected few gave up their valuable study periods to run errands and assist in the office. The Drama Club got a fine group of freshmen boys and girls, and a broadcast on American Education week showed us that Margaret Maccarini and Phillip Landon are capable public speakers. And now we must sign off. We’ll see you again next year —same time, same station, but remember—next year we'll be Juniors! 67 Carol Gifford and Archie Williams, class officers.

Before our ratings are passed in, we have tests in fundamentals to be sure we have learned enough to qualify for whatever quiz programs may be important to us later. Well, we'll have to be signing off now, but don’t go away; stay tuned to this station and we shall bring you a short program about our work in social studies. . . . Hello, everybody!

Under the very able direction of our producers, we students are really up-to-date on our English material. This subject, being a major, remains on our program for the three years that we are connected with this station. Beginning with the first year, we take on varied experiences in reading modern and classical literature, vocabulary building, speaking, and writing, not to mention improving our gram- mar. English, we find, extends itself into many other subjects. Whoever says script writing is easy has a lot to learn, as the second year students at this station did. This phase of our program really sets us to work, first reading, then outlining our ideas, and finally we’re down to the actual writing of thousand word themes. If some of our senior about our democratic government from its founding up to its present position of power among nations. We must understand so much in order to preserve this freedom that we now enjoy. In the United States History course, we follow the development of our country, step by step. We even fight the wars, build the West, win elections, figure out the economic situation, and acquire an essential background in the field of social relations. Our Modern History course takes us into the past that we may better understand the present developments in the countries of the world. Frantic signals from the control room tell us that our time is up. So—so long! Homer Curtis, Miss Grady, Lois Trites. Mr. Van Sickle’s history class.

Thus we learn by listening to them and our French students practicing his vocabulary. Station training our ears to the sounds of letters and syllables. WTECH even has excellent linguists in ‘its midst. Miss Elsa Jaede and Mr. Howard Mitchell both attempt to make the answer to ‘“Parlez-vous francais?” ‘Yes.” We students appreciate the use of victrolas to help us learn the pronunciation and translation of the French language. The stories we read in class make it more interesting than learning just grammar and sentence structure all year. French, Spanish, and guess what? German, also. Mr. Fales Newhall takes over in this department and certainly does a bang-up job. Why, you can’t tell the difference between the real Germans and Mr. Newhall’s Germans. The manner in which he puts across this know- ledge makes classes very interesting and more likable. The same principles of teaching are applied in this language, : also. French isn’t the only language taught here at Tech by any means. Miss Mary McCarthy keeps turning out Many of our language teachers receive French and some super-Spaniards. These students not only learn the Spanish newspapers In this way, we students are able language but also the customs and traditions of the land. to compare our papers with the Spanish and French ones.

This greatly helps our understanding. If some of us are trained at home, that’s even better, for then we can set examples for the rest and help with the pronunciation of words. With all these languages taught here at our own studios, how can we help producing some excellent linguists? Who knows, some of these kids may be future foreign radio announcers or inter- preters! That’s all the time we have, so we'll sign off now, reminding you to stay tuned to station WTECH for further radio enjoyment. Modern Languages 71 Sczence - Mathematics Now, station WTECH brings you its studio of mathe- matical wizards. According to our graduates, this subject is one of the top notch programs at Tech. The thorough- ness of Algebras I and II surely gives our boys, and girls also, a solid foundation. We boys and girls know that it’s this basic studying that helps us later in our college work. Geometry! This is the class in which our “thinking caps” must be on at all times. Here we all come from Missouri because we have to be shown. Everything is proved by theorems, which means they must be memorized. Why, this subject even stumps some of our “brainsters.” Solid and plane geometry are both taught in this course. Hey, Fellas, if you like to study angles (the triangle type angle, that is), “trig” is the course for you. Of course algebra and geometry must be acquired first, for “trig” is made up of both. Upper left: Miss Potter’s Biology class. Upper right, left to right: Mr. Brooks, Joanna Little, Bruce Watson and Chemistry class. Advanced Math, also Strength of Materials and Shop Math, are electives for boys or girls who want a broader background. From Studio ““M” we switch to Studio ‘‘S” where we shall now reveal the secret activities of our future scientists. Have you ever seen bees busy at work? Well, just run up to Miss Potter’s room and you'll see the whole process. Our biologists are certainly busy up there, dis- secting frogs and watching bees, too. While the biologists are observing plants and animals, our physicists are learn- ing about the physical changes of matter, as well as about electricity, gravity, and speed of light. Up on the third floor surrounded by test tubes in their laboratories we find our modern Lavoisiers. Thus from Studio “S” we may be presenting the atomic experts of the future!

As this program starts, you may hear some strange noises in the background. Well, don’t worry; the studio isn’t falling apart. It’s only the boys in shop classes busy at their work. When any repair work has to be done in this studio, our shop boys are always here to help. In the wood shop, our apprentices learn not only how to run the machines but also how to evaluate lumber and how to acquire other pertinent information. Over in the machine shop, boys are taught how to use the tools and machines provided for them. Then out of raw stock and the power of these tools they make the required articles. Screw drivers and prick punches are the usual starters; but when the jobs get more difficult, tap wrenches, vices, and clamps come into the picture. This ‘shop training is pa rticularly useful, for several of our Tech graduates open up their own machine shops.

Won’t it start for you sometimes? The boys in our auto shop never have to worry about these problems, for they learn to take care of situations like these in their classes. Some have even been known to “create” their own cars. Would you like to fly? Now don’t get me wrong, Kids; I don’t mean with wings, but in an airplane. Mr. Bushey, our instructor in this studio, does his best to teach hopeful enthusiasts the theory of flying plus the mechanics in- volved. There’s our engineer with that signal which means our program must end. We don’t want him to get too nervous, so we'll just say good-bye, hoping that you have enjoyed this phase of our broadcast.

Music - Drama Buzz! On the Air! Lights! Camera! Action! This evening WTECH brings you another in the series of dramatic productions. The play tonight is to be “Mother Is A Freshman,” which depicts college life. The leading roles will be portrayed by Evelyn “Babe” Connolly and Frank Treuchet, taking the parts of Abigail Fortitude Abbott and Professor Michaels, respectively. Frank Treuchet is the new discovery who has made a great success and plays his part well. Babe Connolly, of course, has already made her debut and has reached the top. The supporting cast does a great job bringing you daily troubles and humor. First, let us give you some background material, then on with the play. Sidney V. Doane, better known as Uncle Sid, has done a splendid job directing this cast and achieving the co'lege atmosphere. He has helped every one of the actors and actresses better their abilities. Other dramatic performances, too, such as “Why the Chimes Rang” have gone over with a bang. This one certainly impressed the audience and put them in the mood for Christmas. Oh! There’s the signal now and the curtains are parting. On with the show! The audience is applauding now as the curtains close at the end of Act I. While we are waiting for the rest of the show, Tech’s own Tootin’ Tigers will entertain us. This year they are under the splendid direction of Lee Crabtree, a newcomer to our station. Lee masters these Tigers with the utmost perfection. He has brought these cubs right up to par. Other musical performances, too, have been widely acclaimed. Such productions by the Tech Chorale as ““Why the Chimes Rang” and others have been superb. His baton is raised; all eyes are on him. Let us listen! Art - Mechanical Drawing “You are there!’ The place is the Technical High School art gallery in the year nineteen hundred and fifty! The exhibit is still on. Hundreds are crowding around to see the work of students of Ida Roy and Helen Norrgard. Let us switch over to our announcer in the crowded halls. Come in, Announcer 2. Do you hear me? Come in! This is Announcer 2, bringing you the highlights of this gathering. The show cases in these halls have land- scape paintings on display. As we look into Room 308, we see a mural painted by the famous artists, Thomas Poots and Dorothy Catuogno.

Announcer 1 speaking—I shall now take my mike down to the other end of the hall. Here we see the boys demonstrating how to use a T-Square. Hm-m, I see a few house plans in the making. These modern designs are really striking; all types of angles are used in their con- struction. I can see that we will surely have good architects in the future. Talking about the future, a great many former students have put this basic knowledge to good use in their work. What do I see in the far left corner? Yes, especially designed gears,—just think what an im- provement they might make on some machine! Now I seem to be running short of time, so I shall sign off, hoping to greet you again next year.

Foods - Clothing - Nuatrztzon Upon turning our dial, we find “The Homemakers” being broadcast from the third floor of station WTECH. “Aunt Jenney” (the cooking teacher) instructs us girls on the preparation and serving of well-balanced meals. Our modern kitchen equipment at Tech enables us to discover short-cuts in preparing food. The economic conditions in our families and communities are taken into consideration in our class work. We pause for practice in table service in our tea room. We also participate in the preparation of the faculty teas. Is there a contest taking place on this program? No, it isn’t a contest, but we do work with an aim in mind. If we attain perfection in the garment we are working on, it is displayed in the annual Fashion Show. Sewing techniques and use of simple patterns are emphasized in our beginning classes. We are taught appropriate dress designs for our individual type. Capable girls in the special clothing classes may select special subjects to work on. Wardrobe building, with a budget in mind, is important for us. As we turn to the “Health Program”, we learn how to become healthy and stay that way. This should be a major part of everyone’s program; it is the topic most widely stressed in our nutrition classes. All of us who take this interesting and practical course become familiar with meal preparation. Another phase is the planning of menus, which must not exceed a specified weekly budget. Nutri- tion gives us the proper diets to balance our vitality and need for endurance. Now you can understand why we want to share with you the story of Tech—because it gives us all this for present success and so much for our future happiness, too!

Another phase of our program is the Home Forum series (or home management and hygiene). In our home management classes the emphasis is placed on the home —its meanings and function from ancient times to the present day. This includes not only the organization and management of the house and family routines, but all the network of intangible relationships of people both young and old, as well as their individual privileges and responsibilities in creating the home. In this course we have an extension of the study of personality and _ its relationship to the members of our families and groups outside our homes, both social and business. The interrela- tionships of our families and our communities are stressed in a brief unit with the emphasis on the importance of the community in the selection of a permanent home. A unit on money management concerning such items as insurance, investments, installment buying, and _ bud- geting the family income will be of future value to us. The well-planned home, a dream of every individual (“When a Girl Marries”), becomes reality in this timely course. Hygiene, a prepared subject for girls, is directed toward maintaining good health. We are taught to have some understanding of the body machinery we operate and with which we are equipped, the knowledge to enable us to recognize a satisfactory standard of health, and the desire to achieve this standard. Supplementary material with motion pictures on the digestive and circulatory systems and hygiene procedures as well as models of various human organs are included in our course of study. I see the flashing red light which signifies three seconds of program time remaining, but don’t touch your dial; stay tuned to station WIECH for highlights of our fashion show! Home Management ly gzene Miss Wilson’s nutrition class. 77 Fashion This is it, Folks. The long awaited moment is here —that time when the Tech girls display the striking fashions of 1950! Our fashion show will be televised through the facilities of Station WTECH, so sit back and enjoy a new slant on style and beauty. The sport coat, designed for comfort as well as style is modeled by Doris Lantry, Beverly Thompson, and Dorothy Agnos. Com- promise colors have given way to real colors. Sport coats are a necessity in every girl’s wardrobe. Shirley Cummings and Margaret Lee step on the stage to display spring variety. Shirley is wearing the new suit that suits everyone. Designed to make a dashing costume is the lovely blouse and skirt ensemble worn by Miss Lee. We turn now to school fashions. What to wear is a problem which has been solved by our competent girls at Tech. Cathy Pettengill in a blue-grey wool, Betty Bartlett in black and white checks, Elsie Fessen- den in a brown wool, and Elsie Reimers in a wine corduroy all display fashionable styles in dresses for school. Plaids are at their peak, as shown by Carole Tynes and Barbara Birt. Carole’s dress with detach- able collar and cuffs is practical as well as pretty. The skirt and blouse combination is a great favorite for school days. Joan Schube in a rust corduroy skirt and white blouse is followed by Jacquelyn Chap- man who has a new slant with her wool jersey and navy blue skirt. 78 Show Jay Sterling and his “scintillating six” will play our background music for the remainder of the show, be- ginning with “A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody.” For after- noon fashions Carol Rettew’s blue wool coat and Pearl Weroniecki’s beige coat deserve honorable mention. The dresses we are about to see are for those bewitching hours “after six.” Shirley Dufault’s exotic gown was chosen for that special prom. Barbara Burbank in gold and black and Theresa Basiliere in blue have selected taffeta for their date dresses. It’s almost unbelievable that our Tech girls made these stunning garments they are modeling. From the various clothing classes our lovely models were chosen for their outstanding projects in this field. After-six fashions continue with Priscilla Bel- cher’s wearing a green and black taffeta dress. Doro- thy Catuogno added pink lace to her taffeta skirt, a startling combination. A green wool with velvet collar and cuffs was the choice of Joan Reece. Nancy Shrey and Marilyn Sundberg both chose red tafetta for evening. Navy blue, an ever-popular color, was selected by Barbara Scully for her taffeta dress. Lois Trites’ choice was royal blue in the same material. For the sunny side of life, school times and late day and dinner dates, the Tech girls have the “know- how” of fashions. Our student technicians have out- done themselves to channel through to your homes Tech’s Fashion Preview of 1950! 79 This Is Your Life Standing, left to right: Pat Cardaropoli, Lorraine Gentile, Ann Stolze, Maryellen Visconti, Don Chamberlain, David Parker, Gene Her- bert, Joyce Russell, Beverly Thompson, Evelyn Connolly, Vivian DeBarge, Barbara Rugani, Nancy Shrey; seated, left to right: Joan Reece, Angie Lucia, Miss Carey, Pat Hamilton, Carol Kean. Time out for staff indentification! We, the staff of this book, have sincerely tried to make it a realistic picture of life at Tech. This is Miss Carey’s first year as adviser for the book, and the staff has enjoyed making her first book something special. Miss Hilliker continued as adviser to Staff Photographers Bruce Grant and John Young. Eager Tiger script writers invaded radio station WSFL in search of atmosphere and lingo for the all- important 1950 Tech Tiger. Patricia Hamilton, editor-in- chief, (or should I say announcer?) has done a wonderful job steering us all into the proper channels. The big job of sports editor was tackled by David Parker, aided by Gene Herbert and Ralph Pace, and a swell job they did, too! Barbara Rugani, as the seniors well know, made and remade appointments for senior pictures. Because we wanted the best possible cover, the Standing, left to right: Mike George, William Werner; seated, left to right: designing of it was thrown open to the art department’s most talented students. Thus, the sharp cover you now see, the brain child of Tom Poots, finally won the vote of approval. Of course, the rest of the staff wasn’t just taking life easy. To give you a general idea: the dummies were drawn up; teachers were interviewed; picture captions, copy and biographies were written. Then there were un- limited proof reading and typing, plus a hundred other headaches. But all-in-all it was fun, and the success of our book is a true reward. The staff is proud of this yearbook and hopes the classes of 50, ’51, and ’52 share in that pride. Well, it’s almost time for a news broadcast, so Pat Hamilton, Barbara Rugani, Maryellen Visconti, Ann Stolze, Joan Reece, Evelyn Connolly, Vivian DeBarge, Beverly Thompson, and staff photographers wish every success to the future Tiger script writers.

Good evening, Fellow Techites and all the Faculty at Tech. Station WTECH now brings you the inside low- down on the Tech News. What’s the next big event? Who’s who? What’s what? What’s our team been doing this week? For all this and much more, we Techites turn to the one and only Tech News. The news staff, under the advisership of Mrs. Brazeau, whipped up some pretty sharp issues. Theresa Le Blanc, editor-in-chief of the News, was on the run all year keeping the rest of the staff on their toes. Pat O’Brien and Fred Norton, sports editors, were on the go constantly; and Tom Poots, feature editor, was always roaming the halls in search of a scoop. The school was a bee hive of activity throughout the year keeping our news commentators pushing their pencils and pounding their typewriters trying to make the deadline on the next issue. Some members of the staff of the Tech News at- tended the W.M.L.S.P. (Western Massachusetts League of School Publications) conventions where a good time was had by all. The famous ““Who’s Who” column was a tough assignment for someone. There were so many outstanding personalities about the building this year that the selection for each issue must have presented a problem. “Mascot Mumbles” still holds the spotlight for all Techites, and as the paper comes out, it remains the first section to be read. Sometimes it causes a few red faces. Among the added attractions (sneaked in along with the news) were some truly clever cartoons plus some ingenious pro- verbs, always popular features. Well, in a matter of seconds we must sign off. So we'll offer congratulations on another successful year and wish the best of luck to all future reporters for Tech News!

This traffic corps is composed of quite a few fellows who, in the opinion of the advisers, are capable of setting an example for other boys and girls in the school to follow. We haven’t told you anything about the officers of this active organization, have we? I guess we'll start off with the key man, the Chief of the Student Patrol, who this year was to be George Streeter. Because of George’s inability to attend school, Keith Jackson has taken over, and what a marvelous job he has done! The captains are William Buckley, Earl Coffin, Robert Fregeau, ‘ y i and Joseph Costantini. In addition there are Left to right: Frank Miele, Pete Lynch, Fred Norton, George Randall. some fine lieutenants and patrolmen. The adviser for this group is none other than the assistant program director, Donald G. Gifford. Mr. Gifford is aided by Mr. Melvin Lynch. What are the duties of the members of the Student Patrol? These fellows not only prevent running and roughness in the corridors while the classes are passing, but they check on hall roamers who don’t have a pass nor a legitimate excuse. Lunch time finds the Patrol members maintaining order in the lunch room. If an assembly is sched- uled, the Patrol is again on the job, always ready to give a helping hand. They are of great assistance, too, at the various school dances. We point with pride to our Student Patrol!

The preparation of mikes, settings, and lights gets little publicity, but it certainly is appreciated. Producer Charles Winslow, who directs the stage crew, is undoubt- edly a magician. He and the boys can change the stage settings to almost anything our ambitious actors desire. Occasionally, as we sit in assembly and lunch time approaches, our eager actors ignore the signal (which is more commonly known as the rattle of lunch bags) that time is short. At such times, our ever-vigilant stage managers come to our rescue with the official signal from back stage. In a production-minded school like Tech, the Stage Crew offers an excellent oppor- tunity for theatrically inclined students. Before we give way to our hunger, we simply must mention how wonderful the sets were for our play “Mother Was a Freshman.” b Ipat }} No, it’s not the famous “Duffy’s” where the 9 239 elite meet to eat, but it’s “Tuffy’s’ where the Techites grab a bite. From the culinary control room (the kitchen to you) come the delicious aromas that bring fifteen hundred hungry Techites on the double time to the cafeteria each day. The cash registers begin to ring as the Lunch Patrol goes into action during the busy noon period. Pat O’Brien, Rose Moses, Joan Elliot, and Barbara Burbank are among our veteran cashiers. There are also boys on the Patrol who remove dishes and trays, help to keep peace and order, and clear stools from the paths of oncoming students. Directing the cashiers is Miss Lillian O’Connor. Now we reluctantly leave the lunch room to join our next broadcast. Quick As A Flash Stage Crew, left to right: Ben Elder, Donald Hayer, Bob Johnson, David Robb, Bob Cutler, Ralph McCarl Mrs. Jo Mitton Apprentece Engzneers Now, during a brief pause before station identification, maybe you listeners in our radio audience would like to know what goes on down here in the control room. Just in case some of you don’t understand this radio “lingo” of ours, the control room is just radio talk for the office right here at station WTECH (Tech High to you amateurs). Some of us know only too well that familiar room. But, enough of that for now. What probably interests you more (at least the boys in our broadcasting studio think so) is the girls who give up their study periods to lend a hand in the control room. These girls may be found almost any time helping Miss Bradley with filing or running errands for Assistant Director Don Gifford. For you amateurs who may still be confused by our vocabulary, our able engineers at WTECH consist of Director Dr. Gans, Assistant Director Don Gifford, Miss Rena Bradley, Mrs. Mitton, Mrs. Marion Cummings, and Mrs. Driscoll. Who are these apprentices who are so helpful in our control room? Why they are Claire Barry, Catherine Bellefleur, Madge Dionne, Joan Elliot, Elsie Fessenden, Anne King, Elizabeth Mercer, Carol Rettew, Barbara Rugani, Shirley Streeter, Pearl Weroniecki, and Louise Woods, of course! These girls are really kept right ‘“‘on the ball.” Yes, they are the ones who do all those miscellaneous jobs around the control room. Just to let you listeners in’ on a typical day for these apprentice engineers, here goes! “Excuse me, is this 32 Spring Street where I fill out my working papers?” As we all know the answer to that one, we’ll let it pass. Then countless numbers of people including students, teachers, and even parents are always popping in with a question such as “Where can I find Mr. Lynch?” “Is Stan Sprague around?” “I’ve been looking for Mr. Gifford all morning!” “‘Where is Miss Bradley?” If you think that’s confusing, just wait. “What is your opinion of bow ties?” “Please find Miss Whittemore.” “Where is the pass key?” “Will you answer the phone?” Astounding as it may be, they have only one pet peeve, and that is that people never seem to remember to enter the other offices by the outside door instead of cutting through from the control room. How about that now, Folks? | Center: Carol Rettew, Joan Elliot. 4 Lower left, left to right: Anne King, | Catherine Bellefleur, Wini Chapin, Louise Woods, Oreeda Clinton, Pearl Weroniecki.

Before presenting our broadcast, we wish to announce that any similarity to persons living or otherwise is purely intentional. Now Tech High’s station WTECH presents the girls who assist Mrs. Parent, our school nurse. Maybe some of you fellows don’t think much of girls and care less about them, but we have a saying down here that just about suits them to a “T” (T for Tech that is!). Listen now and think these words over; then maybe you’ll change your minds. “OQ woman in our hours of ease, Uncertain, coy, and hard to please. When pain and anguish wring the brow, O ministering angel thou!” Truer words were never written by Sir Walter Scott. From the injuries acquired by the football squad, we would say that these “ministering angels” are much in demand. Some of our “Florence Nightingales” plan to become real nurses someday. Who knows, maybe some of Tech’s graduates will return to their old stamping grounds as school nurses! Meanwhile Jane Maloney, Jean Merchant, Marcia Burleigh, Gladys Caron, and Pat Kelley will be only too glad to attend to your wounds and ailments. “Correction please!” Pat Kelley is now a member of the Tiger staff and has been replaced by Janet Jahn. Of course we all know those “oc- casional visitors” who think they can skip tests by being ill, and so do our girls at the Medical Center. Although that familiar sign on her door isn’t inviting, don’t let it mislead you. Our Mrs. Parent, because of her friendliness, ranks among the favorites here in our studios. On interviewing Mrs. Parent, we find that her office is often an emergency room in another sense. People are forever dropping in for needles, thread, and supplies to mend their blouses or trousers. Often they just drop in to “talk things over.” Mrs. Parent has been with us for a long time now and has an important part in our health program. Before we leave, we mustn’t forget — not the pink pills — but that little white paper which we were supposed to have when we entered, and to which we are now legally entitled. Well, it’s “sign- off time” now. Stay tuned to WTECH for our following broadcasts.

That’s our cue to dash up to Room 310 for our weekly report from the Student Council. And what a Council this year! The compliments will have to come later, however, because Johnny Donovan, the Council president pro-tem, has just called for order. John, a junior, is doing the terrific job of filling the vacancy left in the Council by the unfortunate accident and temporary ab- sence of George Streeter. Barbara Nassif, the efficient recording secretary, has finished reading the minutes of the previous meeting. This report is accepted without additions or corrections. Business is ready to get under way! The three classes in the school were ably represented, a fact which can be proven by the Council’s achievements. Doing a grand job for the seniors were Barbara Nassif, Pat Hamilton, Bill Buckley, Elvin Eady, Bill Moody, George Randall, and John Turnbull. The junior class made an excellent showing through the united efforts of Ed Moll, John Donovan, Ted D’Amauro, Pat Cardaropoli, Ann Elphinstone, Al Engleman, and Gene Herbert. The third, the freshman group, was, of course, all right, too. Carol Gifford, Nina Caolo, Archie Williams, James Gatsios, Phil Landon, Richard Moll, and Dave Mallalieu all con- tributed their time and talents. Wholeheartedly, the Student Council backed and assisted all school drives—George Streeter Day, Junior Red Cross, the Children’s Hospital in Boston, and the March of Dimes campaign for infantile paralysis. Many of the Council members spent wonderful au- tumn afternoons in the mimeograph room, cranking the machine in order to print the colorful football programs that were sold at all the home football games. A reception committee, consisting of Pat Cardaropoli, Barbara Nassif, Pat Hamilton, James Gatsios, and Dave — left to right: Bill Moody, Pat Hamilton. Mallalieu, served refreshments to all the visiting basketball teams and, of course, to our own championship team. In an effort to raise funds the Council sold flowers and operated the popular Tech Store. Al Engleman was the chairman of the Store Committee and a terrific worker, too. Under the chairmanship of Gene Herbert, the Activ- ity Award System was finally put into working order. Many re EOS “As We See It” es yao deserving seniors and juniors received their specially- designed emblems in an impressive award assembly. Pat Hamilton, as the Council’s corresponding secre- tary, kept the “Good Will” program rolling right along. This organization, which, by the way, is advised by Miss Reardon and Mr. Gifford, undertook several minor jobs around the school and polished them off in fine style. We'll take leave now, with the hope that this one thought may remain with you—that this Student Council has done its utmost to interpret the student point of view while practicing working together in a democratic way— the only way! “Program Calendar” — left to right: George Randall, Barbara 88 Nassif.

Quzz Kids We go to the Old Library now where the Pro Merito Society of the school is having a group meeting. Every one of the members seems to be present, including the three society officers, Frank DeSimone, John Pasteris, and Barbara Rugani. For the honor of membership a B plus average in all studies must be maintained. Upon graduation a lifetime membership in the Pro Merito Society is awarded to anyone. who has belonged to the Tech organization during his three years. These students not only receive tangible rewards, but they reap inner satisfaction and future aid. Treasury No organization in the school has a larger enrollment than the Student Association or the S. A. as it is popularly called. We opened a classroom door just in time to see some students putting “money in the pot.” The interest from this yearly investment is so great that few students fail to take advantage of it, for not only are all class acti vities and the Tech News free for S. A. members, but a liberal discount is given on the yearbook, the sports events, and the school productions. An S. A. membership is a good investment. “Invitation to Learning’: seated—rear: Donald Hoyer, John Pasteris, Nancy Cowing.

This is Dave Parker bringing you t he sports roundup from our own studios here at WTECH. During the course of this broadcast, Gene Herbert and I will bring you not only news direct from the fields of action, but we shall also attempt to highlight some of the personalities who make the news. Tech has long been known throughout the country for its high scholastic rating in all departments of learning. In addition, Tech is proud of its many extra-curricular activities, one of the most important being sports. There are many things gained on the field of athletic competition that will never be found in a classroom. Win or lose, a good athlete knows tolerance, sp ortsmanship, and co-operation, and for those who can only watch, there are also excitements and thrills galore. This year witnessed another football coaching change, as Tom Carey started his first season at Tech last fall. Tom was born here in Springfield, and after completing high school, he went to Moses Brown Prep School, then to Brown University, where he starred at center, tackle, and guard. After leaving college, he signed for four years with the Provi- dence Steam Rollers and later played with the famous Boston Yanks for one season. Upon arriving here Tom found able assistants in Jim Ambrose, also new at Tech, and, of course, Bill Lawler. Probably the most outstanding all-round member of last fall’s squad was Captain Oscar Korell. He played his usual good defensive game at center most of the time, and filled in at fullback in one or two games. He, along with Don Viens and Ev Pomeroy, was selected for the Republican’s all-city team. Also exceptional was Joe Gulluni, who took over the quarterback spot shortly after the season started. The two freshmen halfbacks, Vin DiLorenzo and Archie Williams, showed great promise. Each can really tote that pigskin and should go places in the next two years. Stew Whitlock was the boy with the educated toe who got the Tigers out of many a jam with his long punts. The most polished backfield was Joe Gulluni at quarterback, with Archie Williams and Vin DiLorenzo serving at the halves, and Eddie Moll in the fullback spot. Other backs who performed notably were Paul Harrington, Frank Paige, John Manteria, Paul Schortmann, and Charlie Corjay. With Everett Pomeroy and Wes Hunter at the ends, Mitch Grondalski and Harvey Geoffrion as tackles, Don Viens and Stew Whitlock at the guard positions, and Oscar Korell at center, the line was complete. Dick Carnavale, Bob Rubner, Jim Alberici, Don Lombardi, “Red” Riendeau, and Cliff Quimby also played frequently in the forward wall. Others on the team who received letters were Bob Visnaw, Bruce Rushlow, Jeff Strong, Sid Hall, James Morris, John Morris, Johnny Walmer, Stan Svec, George Desautels, Bill Keith, Jim Carroll, James Herbert, Gil Fenton, Joe Alissi, and Bill Lyons. Also receiving minor letters were managers Doug Breveglieri, Bob Gibson, Gerry Drewes, and Bob Perron. Greenfield Game. Hartford vs. Tech at Hartford. ball Tech players — left to right: Harvey Geoffrion, Ed Moll, Cliff Quimby. Tech started the season by taking part in a night game, playing host to Pittsfield. The Tigers started fast, Johnny Manteria scoring in the first period, and ran wild over the Shire City eleven for the entire first half which ended Tech 6, Pittsfield 0. Although Pittsfield’s passing finally spelled defeat, 25-6, Tech was far from out-played, and edged Pittsfield on first downs, 14-10. In their second outing, the Tigers fared no better, as they bowed to the Hartford Owls 19-6. The Tigers threat- ened only once and that was when they countered on an aerial from Paul Schortmann to Ev Pomeroy. Archie Wil- iams, Vin DiLorenzo, and Frank Paige starred offensively for Tech. Tech was completely outclassed by a sharp Turners Falls combine which rolled up a 33-7 margin at half-time. The Tigers put on a spirited rally in the final quarter, netting a pair of tallies in a losing cause which ended 40-19. Tech’s three touchdowns were scored by Williams, Gulluni, and Hunter. Trailing 13-0 at half-time, Tech put on a complete reversal to score 26 points and trample Greenfield High for the first win of the campaign. Gulluni and Williams, both in their first starting roles, amazed critics by leading Tech to victory with two touchdowns apiece. The Tigers’ good fortune didn’t last, however, as the following week their Holyoke hosts handed them a 12-0 set- back. Tech threatened to reach pay dirt only twice, sparked by Vin DiLoren zo and Eddie Moll, but each time got only to the 18-yard line. A powerful Westfield eleven sloshed and slopped their way across a muddy field to hand Tech its fifth loss, 26-6. The Tigers fought right down to the wire, and tosses from Gulluni to Pomeroy and DiLorenzo set up the lone Tech tally, with Manteria finally scoring with just thirty seconds left to go. In their 29th meeting with Classical, the Tigers bettered their Bulldog rivals to record their second win, 6-2. In the third period, Joe Gulluni tossed a 19-yard aerial to Wes Hunter in pay-dirt to clinch the game. Johnny Manteria and Vin DiLorenzo also starred as offensive backs, and Wes Hunter showed Ball-hawk tendencies when snaring some of Gulluni’s long aerials. The season ended on a disappointing note, as a strong and experienced Cathedral outfit ran up a 31-0 score against the Tigers. Tech, however, got ten first downs to Cathedral’s seven and didn’t allow the Panthers any in the second period when the opposition scored three times. Oscar Korell, who missed the Classical tilt, got out of a sick-bed to be back in the line-up at center for most of the game. He also played fullback in the closing minutes to aid Gulluni, Moll, and DiLorenzo, who had been doing the bulk of the running up to that point. Station WTECH reporting. Greenfield vs. Tech. Ev Pomeroy, Oscar Korell, and Paul Harrington. Station WTECH now brings you highlights of the basketball season. Once again, Coach Johnny Kalloch had led his Tigers to an outstanding season as Tech won the city championship and was runner-up in the Western Massachusetts basketball tournament. The schedule was packed with excitement from beginning to end as the Tigers started off by losing, ran up a ten-game winning streak, lost three in a row including an upset by Trade, went on another winning streak, and final- ly lost by one basket in the last and most important game of the season. All in all, the Tigers had a great season and left an overall record of fifteen wins against only five setbacks. Captain John Ferrero was unquestionably the outstanding member of the team. He played forward, set up most of the Tiger plays, and scored 238 points over the season for an average of almost 12 per game. Agressive Jimmy Jones, who played guard, ranked second in scoring, with 174 points. Elvin Eady, center, was third in the scoring department and was terrific controlling the backboards. Joe Gulluni, the other forward, wasn’t as potent a scorer as Ferrero, but he was excellent on defense. Quiet John Pasteris rounded out the team by playing a smooth, steady guard all year and was probably the most underrated player in the city. The varsity squad was completed with Bob Mullett, Bud Kaveney, Erskine Chaffin, Charlie Bryskiewicz, Charlie Corjay, Harvey Geoffrion, Tom Casey, Archie Williams, Irvin Hamill, and Joe Glasgow. This marks the final year for that great quartet, Lefty Ferrero, Elvin Eady, John Pasteris, and Joe Gulluni, who have played varsity ball together from their freshman year. Jimmy Jones will be the only returing vet from this year’s starting five, around which Johnny Kalloch must build an almost entirely new team next season. The Tigers started the season off on the wrong foot as rangy Lockwood team squeaked out a 35-31 win over Tech. The lead switched hands five times throughout the game, but the height of the boys from Warwick, Rhode Erskine Chaffin, “Lefty” Ferrero, Charles Bryskiewicz. “Lefty” Ferrero and Charles Bryskiewicz. ball Island, eventually told the story. “Lefty” Ferrero was the high scorer of the game as he tossed 16 points through the net. Tech’s long victory streak began at Greenfield as an inexperienced home quintet proved no match for the Bengals. Jones flipped 13 points and Casey 12, tc lead the Tigers to a 43-14 victory. With Ferrero and Gulluni showing the way with 14 and 15 points respectively, the Bengals waltzed to their second win by defeating Turners Falls, 44-24. The Tigers scored just about as they pleased, and had little trouble with the Indian offense. Lefty Fer- rero was the key man in most Tiger plays, and ““Wah- Wah” Jones was also a spark plug until he left on fouls in the third canto. After spotting Northampton a 14-8 lead, Tech switched to a shifting zone defense in the second period and went on to win, 38-33. Elvin Eady was the “big gun” as he split the twine for 12 points, and Lefty helped the cause with 10. Both boys played an outstanding floor game, with Eady controlling both backboards. The interschool league got under way with a bang, as the Bengals slaughtered a helpless Trade quintet, 57-20. Scoring at will, the Tigers ran up a first period score of 16-5, led 29-11 at half-time, and made it 41-15 at the close of the third canto. The Tiger’s roar was provided by Ferrero, Jones,and Casey, with 15, 12 and 11 points respectively. Twelve minutes of the next contest had passed before Greenfield could even notch a field goal as the Tigers tore the Green Wave apart for number five in a row. Again it was the invincible duo, Lefty Ferrero and Jimmy Jones, who led Tech in the scoring department with 10 and 15 points respectively. Elvin Eady was the top man off the boards in a game which ended 48-16. In their first really important game of the season, the Tigers vaulted to their sixth victory in a row and second straight in the interschool league by topping Classical 52-38. The game was nip and tuck until the third quarter Tech players: Erskine Chaffin (24), Elvin Eady (35). Tech players: John Pasteris (21), Elvin Eady (35). = | tie Good Sn .

Worcester boys are “up in the air” over our victory, 44-25. when Tech garnered 13 points, and Classical could muster only two free throws. Elvin Eady starred as he hooped 19 points, controlled both backboards, and successfully guarded the Bulldogs’ big center, Ronnie Clark. The Worcester North five was a ‘“‘no-match” for Tech, as the superior Tiger passing and smooth ball handling baffled their opponents. ‘“Wah-Wah” Jones led the Bengals to victory once again as he parted the nets with 16 points. While Cathedral was biting the dust, Tech’s cagers ran away with an easy win over Commerce to take over first place in the City League. The Tigers were a little unsteady at first, but once Jones, Ferrero, and Gulluni got hot, there was no doubt as to the outcome of the game. A smooth Tech quintet kept right on rolling as the Bengals squashed Northampton for the second time, 47-32. The Tiger passing and of- fensive plays were clicking for most of the afternoon, and both Eady and Gulluni had little trouble controlling both backboards. Eady was the only man to hit double figures, but Jones, Ferrero, and Kaveney were close behind. In one of the biggest upsets of the season, Trade came up with their first victory over Tech in eight years. The Tigers enjoyed a 10-2 bulge for three minutes, but from then on the Beavers just couldn’t be stopped. With Lefty Ferrero and Jimmy Jones leading the way, Tech grabbed the lead in the last period, but a late Trade surge paid off in a stinging defeat, 46-43. A tall Poughkeepsie quintet greeted the Tigers with too much height and scoring power to cope with, as Tech was handed its third defeat in a row, 68-44. As four of the five Poughkeepsie men were well over six feet tall, they had little trouble controlling the backboards and kept the Tigers collared most of the game. Charlie Bryskiewicz and Lefty Ferrero led the losing cause with 14 and 13 points respect- ively. The Tigers snapped their losing streak with a bang as they had little trouble downing a surprisingly docile Classical array 42-27. The so-called strong Bulldog zone defense didn’t faze Tech at all, and when the Bengals couldn’t sift through, they merely sank long set shots. The 96 ——— } John Pasteris (21) jumps for a rebound. Elvin Eady flips one in during the Worcester North-Tech game. starting Tiger five played the entire game without replacements, and everybody got into the scoring column, Lefty Ferrero with 12 points and Johnny Pasteris with 10 leading the way to victory. As usual, Commerce was easy prey for Tech’s cagers, and they fell before the onslaught, 59-29. Tech started slowly, but almost doubled their first half output in the third period, and Johnny Kalloch cleared the bench during the final eight minutes. Jimmy Jones decked 14 points and Lefty Ferrero followed with 10. Cathedral also bit the dust once more as they fell easily to a far superior Tiger array which clinched its first inter-city crown in three years: The Bengals led from the outset, and when the final buzzer sounded it was Tech 44 - Cathedral 30. Elvin Eady controlled the boards and tossed 16 points to become the game’s high scorer. Jimmy Jones caged 12 points, and although Ferrero didn’t hit double figures, he played his usual outstanding floor game. In their first tournament start, the Tigers won easily over Worcester Assumption 48-32. The game wasn’t nearly so close as the final score would indicate, for when Tech had built up a 40-16 lead, Kalloch sent in the second team, and Worcester added a few harmless points to its total. The Tiger scoring was evenly divided as Eady hooped 13 points, and Ferrero, Gulluni, and Jones chipped in with 11. The Tigers looked even better in the semi-finals as they out-classed Lee with a 66-35 victory. The Bengal defense was superb, the passwork excellent, and they couldn’t miss a shot at the basket. Lefty Ferrero paced the Tigers with 23 points and Elvin Eady added 16. After m aking one of the greatest comebacks ever seen in tourney play, the Tigers lost a heartbreaker to Adams, 37-35, in the final game. At one point in the second quarter, Tech was behind 23-6, but with Lefty Ferrero leading the way in the third period, they battled their way to a 30-30 tie. The final eight minutes told the story, however, and Adams outscored Tech 7-5 to shatter Tech’s hopes of gaining the coveted title. Ferrero and Eady continued their outstanding tournament play as they led the Tigers with 13 and 9 points respectively. This wound up one of the greatest seasons that a Tech basketball team ever had, and although they didn’t win the Western Massachusetts title, they couldn’t have come closer. 97 Center: Jim Jones, John Pasteris, Joe Gulluni. Lower: Elvin Eady, Joe Gulluni. Baseball Station WTECH now switches you over to the baseball studio to bring you news of Tech’s 749 tossers. Coach Bill Lawler’s club had a 3-0 record in the city inter-school race until Cathedral came along and handed Tech its only two league defeats to win the coveted title and gateway to the Western Massachusetts Tourney. Holyoke, Chicopee, and Hartford also pinned defeats on Tech, while all five wins came from Springfield schools, the Tigers downing Classical and Commerce twice and Trade once. Tech’s batting stars who topped the .300 mark were George Maggi, Vin Ferraro, Joe Viani, and “Lefty” Ferrero. Joe Gulluni, Oscar Korell, and Joe Viani played errorless ball, with John Pasteris and Vin Ferraro also outstanding on defense. The lineup included, in the infield, Pasteris at first, Fitzgerald and Mullet around the keystone sack, and Vin Ferraro in the hot corner. Roaming the outfield were Ferrero, Maggi, and Korell, sometimes with Viani or Gulluni. The battery included “Red” Stewart or “Lefty” Ferrero on the mound, with Eric Zepke for relief, and Frank Paige be- hind the plate. Others on the team were Stew Whitlock, Tony Dias, Bob Dowling, Warren Lipp, Lou Massoia, Tom Casey, and managers “Obie” O’Brien, and Mort Schwartz. Red Stewart pitched a six-hitter and struck out ten enemy batsman to notch Tech’s first win of the season, 4-2 over Classical, as Ferraro, Maggi, and Paige paced Tech in a ten-hit attack. Commerce was no match for the Tigers, as they fell 8-0 behind the three-hit pitching of “Lefty” Ferrero. Tech got four runs in the sixth inning to break up a 2-2 ball game and went on to beat Trade 9-2. Stewart pitched no-hit ball for three innings to preserve “Lefty’s” second win, with Paige and Maggi the batting stars. Cathedral got three runs in the third inning from Stewart, and Tech gamely tied it up in the eighth on Korell’s three-run triple only to have the Panthers tally again a half-inning later to sew the game up, 4-3. “Red” pitched good ball and had retired thirteen men in a row when Cathedral got to him for the winning run. In a complete reversal, Tech had to go ten innings before finally subduing a stubborn Commerce array, 5-4. “Lefty” Ferrero, a surprise starter, held Cathedral to three scratch singles for eight frames until the Panthers found him for four runs in the ninth inning. It was a tough game to lose, for “Lefty” allowed only six hits, and three of Cath- edral’s five runs were unearned. Tech pounded out twelve hits, good for eleven runs, to slaughter Classical 11-4 in a loosely-played game. Stewart hurled superbly in relieving “Lefty”; and Ferrero, Viani, Korell, and Ferraro sparked the Tiger offense. The Tigers failed to annex a victory in three games outside the city league, losing to Chicopee, Holyoke, and Hart- ford. A long eighth inning home run by Oscar Korell was the only cause for Tech cheer, as the Tigers got only four hits while losing to Chicopee, 11-4. Holyoke pounded out thirteen hits for ten runs to swamp Tech 10-5, and at Hart- ford the Tiger defense collapsed, as the team committed ten miscues to take a 9-5 shellacking. And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, ends the account of the triumphs and defeats on the diamond for Tech’s hurlers of 49. Until next spring, this is station WTECH signing off from the baseball studio. Joe Viani slides home at Tech-Commerce game. 98 Track From Blunt Park we are bringing to all you radio fans the track meet scheduled between Trade High and Tech High of Springfield. At the moment Trade is threatening the Tech Tiger’s unbeaten streak of four consecutive meets, and this final meet with Trade is almost over. The boys are out there now competing in the javelin throw. Before that event is over, however, let’s run briefly through the various wins that this sparkling Tech track squad has had this year. Milt Orcutt’s ably-coached boys took every title, every win, every ribbon there was to take! First of all, to open the season, the consistent Tech aggregation outclassed the Pittsfield men to the tune of 66-33. That was on May the 11th. Just five days later here at Blunt Park, win number two appeared in the form of a game Suffield squad. Game as they were, they were no match for the highly talented Orcutt men. The final score was 5842 to 401 with Suffield on the short end of the stick. May the 28th was the day that the supreme band of Tech men came to Municipal] Field in Westfield as participants in the Western Massachusetts Interscholastic Track Meet. And it was with many smiles that they left Municipal Field in Westfield. They had good reason to smile! For the second consecutive year the Tech array had completely stolen the show from other Western Massa- chusetts schools. Greenfield and Classical finished second and third, respectively. Who were the men who carried the Tech banner into the victory column at every meet? The co-captains were Elvin Eady and Bob Carroll. The standouts for the Tigers all year have been Stan Krzesik who captured first place in the 220 yard dash at every meet, Bob Freese who took five blue ribbons out of five tries for the mile run, Bob Carroll, a consistent winner over the hurdles, Elvin Eady for his javelin throwing and high jumping, Jim Burt who showed fine form in garnering many points at the Western Massachusetts track event, Don Viens who starred in the 880 yard run, and John Manteria who copped titles for the 100 yard dash. Some other high point scorers this season for Tech were Kapidian, Bongiovanni, Alderson, and Cava. The letter winners included in the unbeaten Tech track team of 1949 are DeMarche, Wajdula, Ramsdell, Relihan, Wickman, Noyes and Catjakis. Gio- vanni De Rose handled the managerial task. And now, Fans, the final results of this javelin throwing event will be brought to us in a moment. It is, of course, ex- tremely important for it could provide an upset victory for Trade and mar Tech’s fine season. The crowd has given a cheer and..... Elvin Eady, Tech High co-captain, has broken the city record for throwing the javelin with a toss of 171 feet, 2 inches! And that is the straw that beats Trade by a score of 57 to 42! Tech High finishes its unbeaten season with five wins, no ties, and no losses. To all the members of brilliant Tech group whether they scored one point or thirty, and to their capable coach, Milt Orcutt, our heartiest congratulations and best wishes for another unbeaten season next year!!!

Tom Carey, our new grid coach, led the Techites to a good season with an over-all record of five wins and two losses. The Bengals gained wins over Trade and Westfield, defeated Holyoke twice, and tied West Springfield. Their only defeats came at the hands of Classical and West Springfield, who eliminated them from the Western Mass- achusetts Tournament. The starting lineup consisted of Wingers Dick Bailey and Oscar Korell, Center Howie McGrath, Defensemen John Granfield and Dave Stratton, and Goalie Bud Johnson. Al Hardina, Tony Dias, Spencer Davis, and Dick Lucy were also outstanding in their respective roles. The squad was completed with Jeff Strong, Ted Magiera, Edwin Keefe, Bill Maroney, Bob Boone, Steve Pannier, Ralph Spolzino, Phil Eisner, and Hartley McCullough. In the season’s opener the Tigers cut loose with a barrage of 17 goals to dump a hapless Trade sextet in a one-sided shut-out. Individual scoring honors were copped by Al Hardina and Oscar Korell as each scored the coveted hat trick. In their second start, West Springfield proved stiffer opposition and Tech’s skaters had to be satisfied with a 2-2 deadlock. After the Westsiders had jumped to a 1-0 lead, the Tiger six countered with a pair of tallies in the second canto, but the Terriers tied it in the game’s final minutes. Dias and Korell supplied Tech’s goals and Jack Granfield and Dave Stratton provided some good defensive work. Down on ice: Dick Bailey; No. 25, Oscar Korell. 100 Tech-Classical game: John Granfield in background at left. Dave Stratton fired a 25-foot angle-shot from the corner to break up a 2-2 tie in the third period as Tech emerged victorious over a stubborn Holyoke array. The Paper City team scored twice in the initial canto, but Oscar Korell and Tony Dias each recorded goals also to knot the contest. The Tigers fired numerous shots at the Holyoke goal, but it wasn’t until after a scoreless second period that Stratton’s attempt found the mark. With another display of offensive power, the Bengals smothered Westfield 8-0 for their second shutout in four games. Tony Dias and Howie McGrath each countered fast with a brace of goals apiece to give Tech a 4-0 lead early in the second period.

Classical led 3-2 at the termination of the first canto and added single tallies in each of the last two periods. Howie McGrath, with two of Tech’s goals, and Oscar Korell with the other, each played a bang-up game for the Bengal squad. The Tigers bowed out to a more ex- perienced West Springfield array in their first tilt of the Western Massachusetts The Westsiders scored in every period as they racked up a 4-0 shutout. Goalie Johnson stood up well under a barrage of shots, and he collected fifteen saves.

Soccer We interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletin!!!—Amherst, November 10—‘‘Ludlow High’s soccer players became Western Massachusetts champs here today as they'defeated a fighting Tech High squad, 2-0.” That’s what was heard over the airwaves by many an interested sports fan. A strong Jutetown eleven had outguessed Tech’s defense to hand us our second loss of the season. From every other game, however, Tech brought home the bacon and ended a fine season with eight wins and only one loss. Besides this amazing showing, the Tigers, under coach Johnny Kalloch’s watchful eye, entered the finals of Western Massachusetts soccer com- petition. The orange and black opened up their season with a close 2-1 defeat at the hands of Ludlow High. Their second outing granted Tech a 2-0 margin over Trade High. Win number two was over Classical High. The Tech-men nosed them out 1-0. Another 1-0 score was recorded when Tech won its third straight victory, this time over Commerce. The Beavers of Trade were soundly whipped, 3-0, as Tech officially copped the city soccer title. The next meet was a 2-1 victory over Classical.

The final game resulted in an easy 4-0 win over Deerfield Academy’s J.V.’s on October 26. Tech had tasted victory and liked it, for their first two games of the Western Massachusetts Tourney were wins over Smith’s school of Northampton and Hopkins Academy.

An excellent season for a deserving squad and an able coach—John Kalloch! ‘ rECY TECH Sam Kutzenko, Terry Tyler. And now—I have just been handed the result of this eight team championship meet won by Gardner. The star of the day was undefeated Terry Tyler of Tech, who scored two of Tech’s three wins. Flashy Ronnie Kutzenko captured the other. The Tigers finished the season with a seven and one record. Terry Tyler proved that he is one of the greatest swimmers in Tech’s history by winning fifteen straight mat- ches. Ronnie Kutzenko was defeated but once in nine races, and Gene Sikes and Joe Alissi starred in diving. With Tyler, Alissi, Kutzenko, and Sikes coming back, Tech promises to have another championship team next year. To every member of the Tech swimming team and its coach, genial Milt Orcutt, go our congratulations. This is Ralph Pace switching you back to Station WTECH. Below: Eugene Sikes.

While we're waiting for the official statistics, let’s review the im- pressive record compiled by the fast moving boys from Tech. A spirited Tech aggregation opened its season by easily defeating Holyoke, 39-25. The Tigers swamped Classical 51-15. Tyler, Sikes, and Kutzenko led the alert Orcutt-coached mermen. The orange and black brought the City Swimming title to Elliot Street for the seventh straight year, sinking Classical, 46-20. Tech made Buckley of Hartford its fifth victim. A hard-fighting, inspired Tech team won the Western Massachusetts title. Five records went by the boards, with slick Terry Tyler winning two, and Ronnie Kutzenko, one.

Today’s cast includes the Tech girls, with Producers Miriam Hatch and Ann Ratto. The first message is from the G.A.A. (Girls’ Ath- letic Association). Studio “A” reporting sends us full swing into the program. This year, the G.A.A. officers are Joan Fowlkes, president; Pat O’Brien, vice-president; Nan Merriam, secretary. Members-at-large include all girls in the school who are active in sports. Last fall, the G.A.A. sponsored a picnic which was held in the hills around Russell, Massachusetts. By the light of a lantern, we ate supper. Next we launched into plans for a roller skating party, which was heartily approved by skating fans; then a greater accomplishment, a dance, was held in January. The atmosphere of the gym was effectively transformed to fit the dance theme, “Snow Shuffle.” Having finished our round-up of special features presented by the G.A.A. at this time, we now switch you to another studio from which you will hear the highlights of our regular sports. Reporting from studio “B”, we are ready to give you the inside information concerning our sports teams, start- ing with the season’s opener, field-hockey. This sport opened with clicking combinations of Tech and Commerce girls at Magazine Playground, where both practiced. Our only game of the season was held at Forest Park where our opponent, Classical, posted a hard-fought 1-0 vic- tory. From Neptune’s own rea lms came reports of Tiger mermaids who had a marvelous time splashing in the Boys’ Club pool. Joan Brett. Basketbalt kept us occupied on Tuesdays and Thurs- days in the girls’ gym. Some of our leading stars were Joan Fowlkes, Pat O’Brien, Lillian Sales, Kate Plancon, and Carol Tynes. On Wednesdays and Fridays other members of our cast hiked off to Bickford’s and Paradise Bowling Alleys. Basketball was succeeded by volleyball, and this sport, along with ping-pong and badminton, also lured us into the girls’ gym after school. As the well-known “spring-fever” made its annual appearance, many of us thwarted it by an active parti- cipation in the final sport of the school year, softball. This sport, always one of the most popular, attracted many enthusiasts to practice sessions at Magazine Playground. Let’s take a peek into the girls’ gym now and see what is going on. It must be the time of year when ap- paratus plays a major part in the gym program. The gym floor is almost completely covered with mats, and here and there are bucks, horses, ropes, and obstacle courses. The sports program is divided into several parts so that a diversified program may be enjoyed. In the fall there is field hockey or soccer. When it is too cold for outdoor classes, the girls do modern dancing, tap dancing, exercises, stunts and tumbling, apparatus work, and play basketball and volleyball. In the mild spring weather, softball is a favorite. The time allotted for the broadcast of this special program has been just about used up. With the conclusion of Sports Roundup, we bring to a close our first regular broadcast from our newly formed radio station. Stay tuned for our final announcement. ..... Laurea Gelineau.
