: : : 3 TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS VOLUME 48 oat y STACK os pe é ee fe OVERTURE WO Tals, SYMPHONY OF TECH Here we are in the Tech “Met.” Our musicians, ably trained by the arrangers and composers, are taking their assigned seats. The orchestra tunes up, our Conductor mounts the podium, and the “Overture” begins. With each melodious strain the story of our lives at Tech un- folds before us. The spirit of eager students and the performance of our busy, understanding faculty combine all of us into one har- monious group. Even the composing of the Overture involves the story of Tech’s working together which is so much a part of its life. We are hopeful that you will share our experiences through our musical theme. The Freshmen melody is suggested by lively, rhythmic beats, increasing in tempo as our Junior year passes, until that moment arrives at which the beauty and harmony of the music reach their inspiring climax, our Senior year. This “Overture” is just the beginning of our “Symphony” which tells the story of Tech — a story which is most important because the knowledge and experience that we gain here at Tech will be reflected throughout our lives. Thus our Overture draws to a close, and the beginning notes of the Symphony drift through the dimmed Music Hall—our sym- phony—presented by Tech Tiger of 1951!

Under the able direction of Dr. Gans, the Tech faculty works together bringing perfect harmony to our symphony. Each of the keys on the piano is capable of producing a different tone of the scale when it is struck. In like manner each member of the faculty is capable of presenting a different phase of education when his store of learning is tapped. From each of the departments come chords which are blended into an harmonious composition. As a symphony achieves its effect by the deliberate use of the many tones, so education becomes effective by the skillful direction of the many resources of its teachers. ARRKANGERKS AND COMPOSERS Tonight’s symphony is one of the greatest stepping stones in the lives of our many Tech musicians. Each member of the orchestra realizes the time and effort that the understand- ing arrangers and composers have given him to make this symphony a success. Special credit should be given to our competent conduc- tor, Dr. Leo Gans, and to his reliable assistant, Mr. Belding F. This is Mr. Jackson’s first year at Tech. Before coming here he taught English at Commerce High School from 1926-1942. serving in that capacity at Commerce for one year. Jackson. He was then elected assistant principal, From there, he went as assistant principal to Classical High School After a short interval at Forest Park Junior High, Mr. Jackson joined us at Tech. where he remained six years. Mr. Jackson is interested in outdoor activities. Conse- quently, he enjoys the peaceful and satisfying hobby of gar- dening. For quite some time he has been interested in jour- nalism. When he was an English teacher at Commerce High School, Mr. Jackson was one of the co-advisers of Commerce, the school paper. staff that he ‘“‘dabbles in writing, somewhat.” An example of his “dabbling” is the column that Mr. Jackson edits for the Belchertown Sentinel called ‘“The Steeple Soliloquizes.” It is a column that comments on the all-around, everyday hap- He told a representative from our Tiger _penings in the immediate neighborhood and in-the world. He 10 has also published several pocket books of verse in which there are poems for Christmas and for other important occasions. Fortunately for Tech, Mr. Belding Jackson is quite im- pressed with the school’s program. He is enthusiastic about the friendly atmosphere which predominates throughout the whole school. The unlimited co-operation of Tech’s faculty was another highlight in our talk with him. It is everyone’s turn now to try to live up to his expectations. With the help of a lively committee—Mr. Crabtree, Miss Ratto, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Winslow, Miss Norrgard, and Dr. Gans—he recruited the hidden talent among the students early in the fall for Tech’s annual show, “Tech Tantrums.” Mr. Jackson’s wonderful understanding has already proved that he will be an asset to Tech. Dr. Leo Gans, our distinguished conductor, was a new- comer to Tech last year. During the year that he has been with us, he has become an important part of Tech’s life and activities. One of the many ways in which Dr. Gans has demonstrated his interest in Techites is by arranging educa- tional as well as entertaining assemblies. He enjoys working with the students and faculty at Tech, and he has been im- pressed by the willingness of the faculty to assist before and after school those students who have need of special help. To Dr. Gans each student has individual concerns and he treats them as such. Because of his understanding of student problems, he is always willing to discuss difficulties which may arise. He has taken it upon himself to see that every student is given the opportunity for a well-rounded background that will serve him throughout his life. Besides possessing the quality of effective leadership so important in an administrator, Dr. Gans constantly impresses us by his ability to meet all situations and carry them off with 11 While talking with him or listening to him in assem- finesse. blies, we appreciate his fluency as a speaker, his wit, and his contagious enthusiasm for this business of education. It does not surprise us to learn that, in addition to all his activities here, he has also found it possible to write books dealing with modern educational problems. The students who remain after school to partake in club activities or to attend committee meetings have sometimes heard a piano or an organ being played somewhere in the building. Those with an abundance of curiosity have traced the strains of music to the school’s assembly hall and, upon opening the door, have found popular Dr. Gans seated at the piano or at the organ. This amazes those who have not realized before that he plays both very well. A curious Tiger member inquired which he preferred playing, and Dr. Gans answered, “The organ, but I still bat a piano.” Dr. Gans has achieved remarkable results at Tech, and we have great hope for the future because of his abounding energy and his dynamic personality. Famous sayings: “Don’t let him take my tray.” Jean Hawkins, Ruth Grady, Alice Carey, Una Hilliker, Eleanor Reardon, back to camera. English Alice G. Carey Sidney V. Doane Jean G. Hawkins Dorothy W. Adams Helen L. Brazeau Lyman E. Briggs Una D. Hilliker Emma N. Lemay Sixty-seven strong are the members of the “Arrangers and Composers” who have done their level best to make this symphony produce a lasting impression on our lives. All of them are here in our Music Hall now—backstage probably—listening with pride to the musicians whom they have so ably trained. Leaning over our box seat we can see in the wings members of our English Department. There is Miss Dorothy Adams, depart- ment chairman, who finds time to engage in choral singing. She is a member of her church choir and of the Springfield Symphony Chorus. Not far away is busy Mrs. Helen Brazeau who enjoys traveling and who recently took a trip to Canadian Labrador. Our school librarian, Mrs. B., has her capable hands full as the literary adviser of the Tech News. Mr. Lyman Briggs, a newcomer to Tech this year, graduated from Harvard and the University of Wisconsin and taught at the latter. Before coming to Tech, he also taught English at Watertown High School. Mr. Briggs enjoys painting and traveling and has spent three years in India. Heading up the pro- duction of this show is Miss Alice Carey, the able literary adviser of the Tech Tiger staff. Mr. Sidney V. Doane, our popular drama coach, gave us many helpful last-minute suggestions. His one am- bition in life (he tells us) is “to find twelve boys who are interested in drama.” Having spent the recent summer at Norwich Lake, Hunting- ton, Massachusetts, friendly Miss Jean Hawkins is now planning a lovely flower garden around her new home. Directing the pho- tography, an all-important part of our Yearbook production, is Miss Una D. Hilliker. In addition, she handles publicity for Tech, and that takes energy! There, also, is Mrs. Emma Lemay who really likes music, especially the opera. One of her many hobbies includes gardening around her new house. Who is that buying a program? Why, it’s Mrs. Dorothy Ruggles, who, on the side, is an enthusiastic bridge and canasta player. ‘This past summer she received letters from former students thanking her for her help in English. Listen- ing to our symphony is Mrs. Sadie Tabackman, whose hobbies are reading and traveling. A number of her former students’of English visit Mrs. Tabackman, who corresponds frequently with some in college and in the armed forces. Finally we glimpse Miss May Whalen, a lover of music, who enjoys spending her leisure hours at Broadway plays. Dorothy D. Ruggles Sadie P. Tabackman Fales Newhall Mary Z. McCarthy Howard Mitchell Ruth C, Grady Eleanor C. Reardon Elsa M. Jaede Albert M. Johnson Schuyler C. Van Sickle Now the melodious notes of our symphony direct our interest to “Composers” in the realms of Social Studies and Modern Lan- guages. Miss Ruth Grady is one of the history experts. She admits that she is an ardent baseball fan and that, besides spending a short ie . ] S d : time in Maine this past summer, she saw quite a few games. Her OCZa Lu LOS hobby, movie photography involving friends and travels, absorbs the rest of her time. Returning after a year’s absence is Mr. Albert and Johnson. “Welcome back from all of Tech, Mr. Johnson!” In his leisure time he enjoys golf, skiing, and mountain climbing when he Modern Languages isn’t at conventions and meetings. Last summer he had quite a large garden and strawberry patch. Guiding the Student Council and serving as a coach and counselor for the A.I.C. Model Con- gress in addition to teaching a full schedule of classes is hard work, but Miss Eleanor Reardon has been very successful at it. She is interested in interior decoration, but knows the baseball scores as well. Mr. Schuyler Van Sickle, who spends some of his spare time playing bridge, should team up with other Tech enthusiasts. Among his various hobbies are repairing and restoring old furniture as well as reading a variety of books. The Modern Language Department has also contributed greatly in making this symphony a success. Miss Elsa Jaede is one of our many teachers who are interested in beautiful gardens. She is still looking for a black tulip for her French 12 class. Those she ordered from a reliable store blossomed red to her great surprise. Miss Mary McCarthy, one of our more versatile teachers, is not only artistic but athletic as well. This little lady’s favorite winter pastime is figure skating; in the summer, it’s swimming. She should, your Tiger re- porter thinks, be in the Fashion Show—and she knows her Spanish, too! Mr. Howard Mitchell, who is head of our Modern Language Department, is one of Tech’s most ambitious faculty members. He has edited several of the textbooks which we use here in school. A widely traveled gentleman, Mr. Mitchell speaks both Spanish and French fluently. As auditor of the Class of 1951, Mr. Fales Newhall finds plenty of work keeping senior finances in order. Besides this and teaching German, too, he spends much of his time reading and Elsa Jaede and Phil Eisner get to the (French) root of the matter. studying wildlife. Thus, working in harmony, these “arrangers and composers” have added versatility to our performance. 13 Stan Sprague and Frank McMahon in rhythm. Mathematics Miriam E. Allen Benjamin R. Bushey George A. Andrewes Theodore M. Chase Perry M. Best Henry A. Hewitt Softly yet with precision, our conductor touches those keys which reveal to us the meticulous mysteries of our mathematics magicians. Miss Miriam Allen, one of our Pro Merito advisers, instructs in this important field. Contract, canasta, reading, music, and club work take care of her leisure time. Standing in the wings is the freshman class auditor, Mr. George A. Andrewes, our well- known athletic manager and math wizard. This past summer he spent mountain climbing in New Hampshire. A popular member of the Math Department is Mr. Perry Mason Best, who spent the recent summer working on his farm in East Longmeadow. Mr. Best owns that sharp new black Dodge you’ve noticed. The auditor of the junior class is Mr. Benjamin Bushey. Last fall during the S.A. drive Mr. Bushey announced that the junior girls, for the first time in the history of Tech, had 100% membership. What a salesman! Another math expert is Mr. Theodore Chase, whose favorite form of relaxation is playing contract although gardening is really his hobby. Mr. Chase, Pro Merito adviser, spent a wonderful week at the Cape this past summer. Controller of the S.A. funds is Mr. Henry Hewitt, tall, dark, and — busy. A Red Sox fan, Mr. Hewitt admits that his one weakness is bridge. Miss Mary T. Kelly, usually occupied in turning Techites into mathematicians, took one of those wonderful trips to the scenic Smokey Mountains. While in Virginia she traveled the well-known Skyline Drive and visited Colonial Williamsburg. Maine was Mr. Harold Schellenger’s vacation-land with, no doubt, an assortment of photographic equipment, since taking pictures is his hobby. (He enjoys math, too). Our thanks to him for showing movies here at Tech. Mr. Stanley Sprague (probably kidding the arrangers back- stage) was a rifle instructor at Camp Wilder last summer. He is an adviser for the Rifle Club here as well as a counselor and math instructor. During the recent summer Dr. Helen Theinert took short trips and indulged in her favorite hobby — reading. Besides teaching math, popular Dr. Theinert is an active member of several Springfield clubs. The last gentleman is Mr. Arthur Woodworth who was principal at night school for the veterans of World War II. Last summer Mr. Woodworth and his family took a trip to Cape Cod and to Lake Ontario. Now as these vibrant tones recede, we salute these composers who give vitality to our Tech Symphony. Mary T. Kelley Harold W. Schellenger Chromatic notes remind us that the Science Department is well represented back stage. All nine of these instructors should certainly take a bow for the fine training they give the students in physics, biology, and chemistry. Mr. Charles R. Allan, a physics instructor, also serves as a capable adviser for the Hi-Y. Mr. Allan handles the involved task of student placement. He spent most of the last summer ambi- tiously studying at Springfield College. Being the bookkeeper for the Science Department has its problems, but Mr. William O. Brooks also has written several textbooks used throughout the U.S. and Canada. One of his favorite hobbies is gardening. Busy but smil- ing, Mr. Nelson Butler is the industrious business adviser of the Tech Tiger. This past summer Mr. Butler stayed at a boys’ camp, mountain climbing and cooking out-of-doors. A newcomer to Tech this year from Forest Park Junior High is Mr. Manning Case. He built his own home, so naturally he is interested in woodwork; he also enjoys tinkering with automobiles. Mr. Case started a radio club here this year. Cheerful Mr. William J. Clancy is one of our senior advisers. Those who have Mr. Clancy Bill Brooks in action. for physiography or meteorology think he is just tops. In the wings is Mr. Frank J. McMahon, who claims he is retiring from the “Tantrums” this year in favor of Mr. Albert Johnson. This year is Scz ENCE his first as the faculty manager of athletics. Mr. McMahon, an adviser of the Rifle Club, spent last summer as a research physicist at Monsanto. For the first time in many years Mr. Herbert E. Northrup last summer took a vacation, an educational tour of the country. He and his family visited famous Yellowstone Park, Mount Rushmore, Manning S. Case Herbert E. Northrup William J. Clancy Mabel A. Potter Frank J. McMahon David H. Reid and the Shrine to Democracy. A teacher of biology, Miss Mabel A. Potter has made her subject one of the most interesting at Tech. During her trips she assembles specimens to add to her ever-growing collection. This past summer Miss Potter visited historical Plymouth and toured many of the restored houses. Before leaving this group of science “arrangers,” let ’s turn our attention to popular Mr. David Reid. ‘“Hec” is a favorite with everyone here. In his classes we know that science can be entertaining as well as educational. C. Nelson Butler, Jr. William O. Brooks Alexander D. Davis Raymond E. Mackenzie Orley L. Duffin Chester L. Thorndike Mechanical Drawing Art The increasing tempo of the music symbolizes busy pencils on the drafting boards in the Mechanical Drawing Depart- ment. The men of this department are here in the Tech ““Met” now, and from their smiles we know they are justifiably proud of the performers whom they have trained so well in the fields of architecture, engineering, and draftsmanship. An arranger and composer who really enjoys the subject he teaches is Mr. Alexander Davis. The students who have him for an instructor realize his great interest in the mechanical drawing classes which he directs. Maybe you’ve wondered about the many students who crowd around Room 317 after school on Tuesdays. The mystery is solved! Mr. Davis gives out bus tickets to those who live beyond the one-fare zone. He spends his summers at his cottage on the Maine coast enjoying the many summer sports to be found there. Behind Mr. Davis is the business manager of the Tech News, Mr. Orley L. Duffin. Mr. Duffin was the one who promoted the discussion of increasing the News to an actual fact. In addition to handling the business staff of the Tech News, he is kept busy teaching a full schedule of classes. Like many of his associates, Mr. Duffin is interested in gardening. Two of his hobbies, unusual for a mechanical drawing teacher, are the study of insects and the reading of books on theology. Another member of this department is genial Mr. Raymond E. Mackenzie. He is one of Tech’s most enthusiastic bowlers, a sport in which he is a “virtuoso.”” A member of the Tiger staff discovered a picture of Mr. Mackenzie in the trophy room. The picture portrayed the champion rowing team of Tech ’19. His various activities lead us to believe that his interests have extended beyond Tech. One of the many Tech instructors who are willing to do more than their share is easy-going Mr. Chester L. Thorndike, with his dry sense of humor. He is the capable and popular head of the Mechanical Drawing Department. Mr. Thorndike is one of the veteran Helen Norrgard Ida B. Roy faculty members who have been here at Tech a number otf years. What would Tech do without its Art Department? Besides training the unlimited talent which flows so freely about Tech, the department aids the school a great deal by making props for our plays, helping to put together the decorations for class dances, and advising the art staff of our own Tech Tiger. Miss Helen Norrgard is one of Tech’s two clever art arrangers and composers. She has been especially helpful as an adviser on decorations for our class dances. Those who need a consultant about posters for one thing or another should stop in and see Miss Norrgard, for she is responsible for many of our effective posters. An artist herself, Miss Ida Roy inspires her students to achieve work of the highest quality. She has been of great assistance to the art staff of the Tech Tiger; the covers of our yearbook have been under her, expert supervision. Her art classes are overflowing and there’s hardly room to swing a paint brush! 16 Mrs. B. and Orley Duffin ponder problems of Tech News. Ben Bushey looks at the record for Roland V. Fitzroy Ernest Spallacci. Walter E. Hansen George L. Reynolds Sh p d T p : Howard F. Reed John E. Robinson Let’s lean back in our seats and become acquainted with the producers of Tech’s “Anvil Chorus” — in other words, the shop instructors. All seven of the men in the shop department have had a hand in training the boys of Tech in the fields of pattern making, wood turning, machine, print, and metal shops. The first to take a bow is Mr. Roland Fitzroy, an instructor of pattern making. Locker problems, such as lost keys, stuck doors, or forgotten combinations are worked out in Room 113 by the patient Mr. Fitzroy. The hectic job of handling lockers is tremendous, but he has accomplished wonders. Mr. Walter Hansen is next on our list of shop arrangers — his specialty being wood turning. During vacations he pursues his favorite hobby, fishing for trout in Maine. Mr. Hansen needs little encouragement to relate several of his stories of the “whoppers’’ that have eluded him. Mr. Howard Reed is the busy adviser of the Photo Club and of the Lunch Room Patrol in addition to teaching a full schedule of machine shop classes. Mr. Reed’s efficiency and agreeable personality aid him in the management of the patrol at Tech’s school affairs. Next in our line of recognition is Mr. George Reynolds, a member of the machine shop staff. He resides in the town of Agawam a nd commutes every day. Because he has done such a grand job of building homes during the summer months, the town of Agawam appointed Mr. Reynolds its building inspector. Another member of this department is Mr. John Robinson. At long last Mr. Robinson is situated in a room of his own. (Room 114, in fact). Last year Mr. Robinson taught several different subjects such as wood turning, mechanical drawing, and printing, activities that required his rushing from room to room between classes. Finally, he became a regular member of Tech’s machine shop staff. Mr. Robinson takes time out from his classroom duties Robert J. Spence to advise the Class of ’51. Unfortunately for Tech, the well-liked Mr. Robert eS or aslo Spence, who teaches metal work, is retiring at the end of June. Mr. Spence has been teaching for over forty years, the last thirty of which have been spent here at Tech. He is very proud of the fact that all five of his chidren are Tech graduates. Last, but by no means least, is Mr. Charles Winslow who teaches wood turning classes and is in charge of the stage crew. During the recent summer, Mr. Winslow took a five-week trip to California, leaving by the southern route and returning by the northern. Mr. Winslow confided that he wore out two whole sets of tires, but this loss was nothing compared to the wonderful sights he saw in California. Something new has been added! For the first time in Tech, typing classes have been added to our already overflowing programs. With this new subject we welcome a new teacher, Miss Anne Shea, who previously taught in Tacoma, Washington, where she was head of the Commercial Department. During spare moments she pursues her favorite hobby of reading. One passing by Room 314 is impressed by her capable directing of Tech’s typists (who are developing a rhythm all their own). aoe os Goldie S. Parks Eugenia Wilson Helen G. Borrner Beatrice D. Miller The four members of the Home Economics Department train many of Tech’s students (including some boys) in the arts of cooking and sewing. One of these fine instructors is Miss Helen Borrner. Not only does the versatile Miss Borrner teach clothing and foods, but pattern drafting and hygiene Busy Miss Beatrice Miller, chairman of this depart- ment, teaches foods and home management. She is in charge of as well. a foods class for senior girls with two years’ cooking experience. To be invited to an extra-special meal prepared by these girls is considered a treat. Under Miss Miller’s capable direction the girls also do a splendid job giving school teas. Mrs. Goldie Parks, though in charge of the Fashion Show and costume She manages all these things and helps to advise the Senior Class, too. Miss Eugenia Wilson, adviser of the Class of ’51, makes storeroom, teaches a full schedule of clothing classes. the fourth member of this department. She ably trains many of Tech’s girls in foods, hygiene, and home management. Helen N. Theinert Miriam M. Whittemore Melvin A. Lynch Stanley A. Sprague Barbara Anderson and Darlene Sheriff learn about specialties from Miss Miller. Listening to this melodious music we are reminded of Mr. Lee Crabtree, Tech’s own “musical maestro.” During the past summer, instead of vacationing, Mr. Crabtree worked on a process of soundproofing the band room. Also, every Tues- day night he met with the band for rehearsals. A musical performance is generally given under expert guidance, and at Tech the problems of the boys and girls are straightened out by the Guidance Department. Mr. Melvin — Lynch, the boys’ counselor, uses his many contacts in this community for the benefit of Tech boys. Always alert for information about former students, he follows up their careers after graduation. Second is Mr. Stanley Sprague, that tall fellow you’ve seen around. Besides serving as math instructor, Mr. Sprague is counselor for boys to whom he has been of great help. Dr. Helen Theinert, besides teaching math classes, gives many standard tests to those desiring special guidance. Last is genial Miss Miriam Whittemore, the girls’ counselor and friend. Home Economecs Gutdance—Music Lee S. Crabtree Bill and Johnny talk it over. A sudden clash of cymbals followed by a roll of drums brings us to the last section of arrangers and composers made up of the Gym Department, the Office Staff, and our capable nurse. First to take a bow is Mr. Tom Carey. Our football team is coached by the able and popular Mr. Carey, who also coaches hockey and tennis teams. Mr. John Kalloch is one of our well-liked boys’ gym teachers. He trained our top bas- ketball team last year and his coaching activities have included soccer and baseball. Mr. William Lawler (Bill to everyone) did a fine job coaching the basketball team this year. While Bill attended Springfield College, he was an outstanding ath- lete. The fourth gym instructor is Mr. Milton Orcutt. Don’t be surprised if you find Milt Orcutt in the boys’ gym office with a portable swimming tank. You’ve guessed the reason! He is Tech’s swimming coach. Besides training the mermen, he advises the track team and assists in putting the soccer sary Gray, the girls’ team in shape. Tech welcomes Miss Thomas J. Carey Mary E. Gray Physical Education Nurse— Office Marion B. Cummings Mae Driscoll Dorothy Nitkowski new gym instructor. She graduated from Sargent College and did post graduate work at Smith. Nifty Miss Ann Ratto, assisted by Miss Gray, puts the girls through their paces with smooth precision. Tech opened this year with a new nurse, Miss Marguerite Morris. She likes traveling, and last April Miss Morris drove to Florida. The final portion of this introduction to the arrangers and composers is coming to an end with a tribute to Tech’s Office Staff. First is Mrs. Marion Cummings, Dr. Gans’ secretary. She and her husband are busily engaged in building their house. A new member of the office staff is Mrs. Mary Driscoll. She has five growing boys that keep her quite busy. Another newcomer to Tech’s office is Miss Stella Gilwech. She came to Tech from the main office on Spring Street, where she worked all last summer. Finally, we welcome Miss Dorothy Nitkowski to reinforce our Office Staff. Mikton H. Orcutt Ann R. Ratto John R. Kalloch William J. Lawler The violin, one of the most important instruments in an orchestra, leads the rest because of its wide range of color and strong, clear tones. Like the violin, our seniors, the most important section of the student body, are the leaders of their fellow school- mates. The pitch of the tone of the violin must be true as it carries the theme. So it is with the seniors, who set the pattern for lower classmen and lead them through the variations of life at Tech. During their three years here they have acquired more and deeper knowledge, and now in their last year they have the strongest voice in the school. Yet this voice does not dominate the rest of the orchestra, for, while each tone stands out independently on its own value, it still blends in harmoniously to improve our symphony. SENIOR SONATA 20 The conductor swings his baton downward, bringing to a close the first movement of the Tech Symphony. A hush falls over the audience, for he is about to announce the winners of the most coveted award at Tech. Two deserving Techites who have attained the highest degree of “virtuosity” during their three years as students are about to receive the Charles F. Warner Achievement Medal. He speaks: ‘Ann Carol Elphinstone, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert G. Elphinstone of 1476 Page Boulevard, is awarded the Warner Achievement Medal for her excellent record here at Tech. Scholastically, Ann is tops, and she has earned a high place in school citizenship through her good spirit, and willingness to help others. She is not only an outstanding leader, but she is a co-operative worker as well. Having accepted numerous responsibilities, she has excelled in carrying them out. She is, indeed, a model for the rest of her class. Good luck in the future, Ann!” 62. TEGTIEY VIKRTUOSOS Now for the male recipient of this high honor! “The Charles F. Warner Achievement Medal is awarded to John Bernard Donovan, son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Donovan of 138 Roosevelt Avenue, for his excellence in all phases of school life. One may well marvel at his outstanding scholastic record which he has maintained throughout his three years here at Tech. His participation in school activities is equally good. As a leader, John is hard to beat, for he has proven his abilities in this field many times. Admired by all, students and faculty alike, because of his cheerfulness and dependability in all situations, he is surely a credit to Tech. MHere’s to your success in the coming years, John!” There is a burst of applause concluding this announcement, and the two winners stand to acknowledge the acclaim. As the last echoes fade away, the conductor resumes his position at the podium, and the Tech Symphony continues. 2a John J. Adams Craig R. Allan Donald W. Denotes Three-Year Honor Pupil.

How lucky we are to have such willing teachers to help us with our problems and lead us in the right direction! Quite a responsibility confronts these teachers as senior advisers. First, they assist in the planning of the senior dances. This planning includes inventing a theme, making decorations, deciding upon refreshments, and procuring an orchestra. Certainly, this is a big bill to fill! And there are three dances given for seniors: an informal, a semi-formal, and a formal. The last dance requires extra work since it is the senior prom held at the auditorium. Not only do these teachers sponsor and plan dances, but they also sit in at all com- mittee meetings including those of the banner, color, ballot, and hat committees. Now, at the end of our high school career we want to extend our thanks to these unforgettable friends. Ann H. Atanian Albert M. Ayers Barbara E. Baker Robert A. Ballard emer Dolores W. Ballou Shirley D. Barr Leon J. Bastien, Jr. Donald A. Bates Golly, do we have some sharp seniors this year! They stand out as do the high notes in our musical score. First, we have John Donovan, president of the senior class. John has the admira- tion of his classmates and teachers because of his pleasing personality and school spirit. Tech is proud of his speaking abilities, for he proved to be outstanding at the Model Congress. Of course you all know the seniors’ vice- president, Ted Dimauro. Besides this task Ted has undertaken the presidency of the band and vice-presidency of the Student Council. Another personality you must meet is Ann Elphinstone, the charming Miss the lucky seniors have for secretary. Ann has to her credit many extra-curricular activities including the office of News Editor of the Tech News. Concluding, we want to wish success to these outstanding Techites, Normand J.

Cardaropoli Left to right: Gene Herbert, Bill Harris, Ed Moll, Dick Moll. Three years ago this coming September, Bill Harris entered Tech with the Class of 51 and became a member of Room 202. Shortly before the close of the school year Bill experienced a serious illness which required operations. These helped him enough so that he was able to return to school the following September. As he had some freshman subjects, he was enrolled in Room 327 where he completed the year. This picture was taken during a pleasant summer spent by Gene Herbert, Bill Harris, and Dick and Ed Moll on Lake Winnipesaukee. ; Very shortly after returning to school this year, Bill became ill again. He left school, of course, and again underwent a series of operations. Just plain grit and determination have made Bill, through constant practice, able to walk again. Should he be able to return to school — and we are all hoping that he will — he would enter as a junior. This story may mean little to some of you, but to most of us who know and like Bill it is our tribute to his never-failing courage and a small token of our affection. Hurry back to Tech, Bill!

As we listen to the Senior Sonata ever revealing the story of Tech, we become aware of its golden oppor- tunities. We Techites recently experienced one of these opportunities when we all had a chance to view an exact replica of the original Liberty Bell which is located in the old State House of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This privilege was granted to us by the United States Treasury Department. The bell was set on the back of a large truck on Elliot Street, and all students could see it during their lunch periods. There was quite a turnout of students to see the bell and it is small wonder when one realizes how interesting and unusual an event it was. The Liberty Bell has cast upon it this prophetic inscription: “Proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.” Many years after the bell had fulfilled its purpose by summoning the people together to listen to the old but inspiring message of freedom in 1835, it cracked while tolling for the funeral of John Marshall. It has since remained an object of veneration and will always signify liberty throughout the land. Indeed, the inspection of a replica of our Liberty Bell has proved instructive and timely. Norman E.

Curran The morning tune-up has just begun throughout the halls of Tech as we come upon one individual who finds life a bit complicated. No sooner does he open his locker, when he glances up, revealing an extremely puzzled countenance. Do you recognize him? Of course, he is Ronald Babineau, a senior at Tech. It’s small wonder that Ronald seems a little perplexed, con- sidering the many responsibilities and the arduous work confronting him as sports editor of the Tiger. Ronald is worth his weight in gold as a member of the staff because of his knack for writing copy and his vast knowledge of athletics. Not only does he write about sports, but he takes part in them, also. For example, Ronald is one of the foremost players on the soccer team. Goodness, how time flies! Ronald looks at his watch, slams his locker, and hurries to his homeroom. Ruth E. A. David Homer M. Curtis, Jr. Marshall J. Davin Marie C. Deveneau Eleanor B.

These musicians are receiving their just reward for partici- pating in and helping to make one of Tech’s most successful musical seasons. First in line to receive Dr. Gans’ hearty handshake is Darlene Sheriff, a member of the graduating class. She was one of Mr. Crabtree’s most promising sopranos. Following Darlene is Shirley Streeter, a gifted soprano from the junior class. When Gene Basiliere graduated with the Class of °50, Mr. Crabtree lost a wonderful voice and personality. Gene, a tenor throughout his years at Tech, appeared in all the musical accomplish- ments of the school and last year was one of an excellent “Barber Shoppe Quartet.” Honors Assembly — Left to right: John Burnham, Eugene Basiliere, Shirley Streeter, Darlene Sheriff, Dr. Gans.

Boys with their hats on in class!) This roving reporter is not at all critical of these boys, but, on the contrary, quite proud. An unwritten law of Tech etiquette states, and I quote: “Any senior owning a Class hat shall wear it proudly and unrestrictedly for the first and last weeks of school.” They are issued on the first day of school, and these hats, we understand, serve constantly for seven days of the week from seven in the morning until ten at night. To wash them detracts from the appearance, and not to wear one is treason!

Yes, here we have another “Tantrums Original.” Barb has been a Tantrums hoofer for the past two years in such roles as a French Can-Can expert and a fascinating Gay-Nineties girl. This versatile young lady’s three years at Tech were active and memorable ones, and we’re sure that the University discovered and of Massachusetts has already appreciated some of her many talents. We were lucky enough to catch Marcia between acts and insisted that she tell us about herself while getting ready to assist Tom Poots in another of his crazy antics. Besides her specialty act with Barb, she was seen every place except hanging from the clothesline in the “Tantrums of 1950.” A senior this year, Marcia has a wonderful record behind her. Besides being active in the G.A.A. she served as editor of the Tech News this year. Pro-Merito was glad to welcome Marcia to its ranks when she was a freshman and she is now a three-year member.

Betty has taken the college course at Tech where she has been a three-year pro merito member and the editor of the Tech Tiger. Following graduation, she plans to go to college.

To say the least, we were fascinated when another sound caused us to turn, only to see Russell Hobbie seemingly tying knots in some wires.

David and Russell are both juniors who became friends because of their mutual interest in radios. Ralph, a senior, also enjoys the oppor- tunity of meeting his fellow masterminds over a radio tube.

Here are some of Mr. Fitzroy’s freshmen boys at work in their wood shop class. Gathered around the drill press are Mel Surette, Paul Sears, Ralph Albano, Richard Averill, Francis Priest, Pat Moriarty, and Henry Larsen. Much skill and patience are required to run this drill press. In fact, all the shop machines require some degree of precision. Of course there are many differences in the machines. Some are simple while others are complicated; for instance, those used in machine shop require greater accuracy and precision because of the materials used and the projects made. Not only is there a difference in machines but also . in the way shops are managed. In some, students go about their work in the modern method of so-called mass production. In others they work on the basis of individual projects. In all the shops at Tech, boys have the opportunity to develop ingenuity. Among the many clever creations and probably the most popular products made in the shops are the piano music boxes. These are small wooden pianos with music boxes inside. Each one plays a different tune. Even though these freshmen boys are a little unfamiliar with shop work, they soon swing into action. Ann A. S. Misterly James J. Mitus Glenn H. Moore Robert W.

This television-minded boy seems to be having quite a time trying to set the picture. Besides being an ac- complished member of the stage crew, Bob Johnson finds time to try his hand at TV. Dick Hogan, an innocent bystander, prefers to look on rather than to offer his talents. During the World Series, television was set up in the auditorium. Anyone with a study period (and with the permission of his teachers, of course) could go down to the auditorium and not only hear but also watch these games. Having the TV saved much nervous tension on the part of pupils and some teachers, too. Instead of running around the school, biting their nails and wondering who was winning the game, they always had something to rely on for the right score. If anything went wrong with the TV and caused hazy pictures or harsh sounds, there was always someone around to straighten out the trouble and make people happy again. Among the many privileges at Tech, this was the most enjoyable. Ardent admirers of baseball, students and teachers alike, flocked to the auditorium whenever possible to see whether or not their favorite team was winning. Wayne R. Palmer Leonard J.

Mr. Wright is no doubt getting tired of carrying that camera around, too. Both of them have been rushing around the school getting pictures for the yearbook. With this job and numerous others, Miss Hilliker must be used to having tired feet. Her collection of shoes has increased lately. Mr. Wright, from Bosworth’s Studio, is an old friend of Tech. He knows the strenuous work that he’s letting himself in for when he takes our classroom pictures each year, but he still remains faithful. When Miss Hilliker and Mr. Wright see the results, they won’t care about the shoes because they'll know it was worth their trouble. Joseph A. J. Pino Kate I. Plancon Harold T. Plugge, Jr. Giles E.

These girls get out of their second period class early (even earlier than the traffic officers) in order to eat their lunch. Then when the bell rings and the mass of hungry students charge into the lunchroom, the girls get on the job. To do this work the girls must keep up their marks. Of course there are advantages to this job, too. Those workers are paid a certain amount of money per lunch period, depending upon the line they have. Arthur Salztass Margaret R.

Schinkel On November 10, 1950, as sweet music floated from Springfield’s Municipal Auditorium, Tech’s S.A. members danced to the melodies of Al Strohman. Why? Because Tech had done it again. For the first time in five years the S.A. drive went over the 85% mark which is set as a yearly goal. The result was a big dance, free to all S.A. members, held at the auditorium, and called the “All Tech S.A. Dance.” Even the name had an impressive sound as it should have, for this was the biggest event of the school year. How we worked for that dance! And we worked together; that is the important thing. The race for first place was an exciting one, finally won by the juniors with 91%. The seniors reined in at close second, and the freshmen placed last. Two pep rallies, one of which featured the irrepressible Mr. Bushey, helped the drive along and everyone had fun competing. Everyone attending the dance had a well deserved feeling of pride for his share in this accomplishment and great hopes for next year. Robert H. Shea Darlene E. Sheriff John L. Simonson Robert J. P.

Then there were two salads: Perfection Star (molded like a star, naturally) and Christmas Tree, which was molded like a tree with a trimming of cream cheese and mayonnaise. Pistachio ice cream and chocolate mint rolls rounded out the menu. This luncheon gave the girls experience in the practical and decorative art of cooking and serving luncheon. Their guests enjoyed it immensely. 45 Sterrieng Notes Upper Right — The veterans of Tech combine with the veterans of the Spanish War in an impressive Memorial Day Assembly. Center — Left to right: Ted Dimauro, Marcia Francis. Lower Left — Left to right: Allan Greenfield, Matthew Aronson, Allan Cohen, Stanley Cohen. “Cover them over with beautiful flowers, father or brother, husband or lover.” These eloquent words, the gift of an anonymous poet, are read each year by members of the Drama Club in one of our most impressive assemblies, that in honor of Memorial Day. Last year, vet- erans attending Tech donned the uniforms worn during their service to honor the war dead and to add a note of reality to the assembly. These two busy seniors are none other than the well known Ted Dimauro and Marcia Francis. Both have spent active, memorable years at Tech. At present, Marcia edits the Tech News and Teddy is vice-president of the Student Council. Hear that noise? No, its not the beginning of a Spike Jones’ jazz band, but something close to it. This interlude in our symphony is entitled “Lunchroom Medley” and well it should be, for every conceivable kind of utensil plays a part. This uproar begins at 11:11, continuing through 11:38 when a moment of blissful silence interrupts. It then resumes, full force, for another twenty minutes. Playing supporting roles in the medley are Alan Cohen, Alan Greenfield, and Stanley Cohen who share the same lunch table. Stanley and Alan Greenfield are the junior members and Alan Cohen, the senior. Last spring our faculty had the oppor- tunity to meet our new superintendent of schools, Dr. Sanders, and his wife. Dr. Sanders came to us from Fitchburg where he was well liked by everyone. Dr. and Mrs. Gans and Mr. and Mrs. Kiley also attended the tea as our guests. Tech can be proud of being one of the first schools to entertain our new superintendent and of the tea that was served. “Cheer, cheer, cheer for Tech!” Year after year this song has lasted, carrying the tradition of Tech along with it. Before we have one of our important annual schoolboy clashes in some sport, we have rallies to let the players know that Tech is one hundred per cent behind them. Sally Mortberg, one of this year’s cheer leaders, is shown with the majorettes leading us into the spirit of the games. Many of our aspiring aviators here at Tech take a course called aeronautics. During the year each pupil gets a chance to fly the Link Trainer. This gives all the boys equal opportunity to fly a plane only by instruments which tell how fast they are going and in what direction.

This year Bob Maurice, an enterprising senior, was in charge of cutting out name plates for each teacher in our school. He is shown at the Pinto Utility Engraver which was donated to Tech by a class of boys and which has been in use ever since. Plates have been sent all over the United States. Max Boshko had the painstaking job of sanding and polishing each “goodwill name plate.” It seems that Mr. Andrewes was caught in the act of being one of the first teachers to receive his plate from Bob. Tech is proud of having boys like Max and Bob who were willing to donate their time to such a fine job. Look who’s browsing around in the library now! We recognize those five busy seniors — John Manteria, Aldo Grassetti, Frank Lauriente, Angie Lucia, and Pat Cardaropoli. My gosh, you people look impressive with all those imposing volumes of higher learning! We wonder whether it’s the end of a marking period or just an excuse to do a little posing for our roving cameraman. What celebrities we are running into today! Here are Walter Koerner, an easy-going fellow who knows the secret of keeping free from worry; Burt Steere, the person- ality boy; Kermit Lee, who has solved the formula of balancing fun and work; and Gene Herbert, our versatile actor. ‘These boys participate in many outside activities in addition to getting good marks in their respective courses.

T-E-A-M — yea, team! Again and again this familiar cry raises the roof of the Field House as the crowd goes wild in the deciding moments of a game. Carol Danti and Carole Miller are shown expressing their feelings on the play just made. These girls are freshmen but they show how quickly you can get that “Tech Spirit.” Darn! There’s that lucky Tuffy surrounded by women again. He has all the breaks. Among h is many admirers are Angie Lucia, Terry Askins, Winnie Chapin, and Joan Tovet who are pictured here. No wonder he’s all puffed up and purring. These girls are all members of the Class of °51 who made themselves acquainted with Tuffy in their freshman year. Looks good enough to eat! A truer statement couldn’t be applied to this spicy gingerbread house, which was made under Miss Miller’s guidance. It was exhibited before the Christmas vacation in the dining room show case; then when Christmas came it went to the boys’ ward at the Shriners’ Hospital. Mary Ellen Harrington, Marie King, Joan Keefe, Janet Hadd, plus other girls were responsible for this picturesque story book house, which was made entirely of gingerbread except for its candy roof, windows, and trimmings. There’s that man again! Mr. Wolfe comes each year to Tech to be sure no one has the excuse, “I didn’t see that assignment,” the day of a test. Really, though, he makes sure we aren’t straining our eyes, for he knows that we won’t ever be able to replace them. Sitting in the chair of “see-all’? is Bob Maurice getting ready to show Mr. Wolfe where that elusive line went. Upper Ranges 48 All Sharps — Rain or shine, night or day this is a familiar scene to all Tech band members as they load their instruments ona bus. Everyone gets into the act even the bus driver when the drums come along. But when they reach their destination, Tech can always be proud of the performance of the band. When Christmas comes around, Miss Norrgard usually suggests something to take to the hospital to make someone’s Christmas a little brighter. This year Mary Jane Wenk and Mary Ingraham made angels’ faces on plastic stars for Springfield Hospital. These were used as favors to put on trays in certain wards. Mr. Hewitt took the two Marys to the hospital where they gave them to the person in charge. The world may claim that the “big four” consists of the United States, England, France, and Russia, but in the football season Tech claims not only a “big four” but a “strong eleven!” In this picture you see Jimmy Herbert, John Manteria, and Frank Lauriente discussing with Mr. “Bob Hope of Tech” Carey plays that were deciding factors in many games. Sh! Many of our respected athletes are hard at work studying. Have you ever noticed that here at Tech most of our sports stars shine in other fields, too? Here are, from left: James Jones, Sydney Hall, Richie Clark, Archie Williams, Paul Jacques, and Joe Glasgow. Make Mine Music One of the funniest, wackiest comedy teams that have come to Tech appeared in “Tantrums” this year. Yes, we mean Tom Martin and Jerry Henderson! We saw Jerry once before in the monologue assembly for which he did his original song and dance routine. Now, using Tom Martin as his perfect foil, he really is in his element. This is Tom’s first appearance on the Tech stage, but we know it won’t be his last. We are now strolling toward one of the busiest corners of our school, the Tech Store. This is one of the first places that freshmen go to get acquainted with Tech. Here they buy everything from bookcovers to banners and back again, and from September on there is no question as to where they go to school. This year the store is efficiently run by Nina Caolo, junior class treasurer; Joe Visconti, freshman class president; and Al Engelmann, Tech’s new TV Star. They are in charge of keeping up the supplies and tallying the records at the end of the month. We’ll be in again soon. Adios, amigos.

Walking by the open door of the music room, we hear Terry Askins, Shirley Rovelli, and Alice Tarpinian harmonizing on one of the current new hit parade tunes. The industrious Mr. Crabtree is also shown with the girls. Honest, man, you do so many things that it’s unusual to catch you standing still! These four are an example of how Tech puts on such fine annual shows by combining the efforts and talents of teachers and students.

This mellow-sounding instru- ment plays a most important part in our orchestra, just as the juniors play a significant role in the every day life at Tech. The cello tends to tie in the high, brilliant tones of the violin, or seniors, and the deep fundamental notes of the bass viol, or freshmen. The juniors are now at the halfway mark. Only last year they seemed to have merely a small part in the orchestra, but now their voices, warm and mellow like those of the cello, are blending with the music from other instruments to add to the harmony of our symphony. JUNIOR INTERMEZZO Upper Left — Left to right: Mr. Bushey, Mr. McMahon, Mrs. Ruggles, Miss Potter. Lower Left — “Surprise Performance.” Lower Right — “The Thing” — Joe Alissi. Junzor As the mellow strains of “Intermezzo” drift from the orchestra pit, the spotlight focuses on the class of °52. We juniors are at the crossroads of our lives at Tech as we try to decide which way to turn. To us, this has been cur most important year, for our present experiences will determine the success of our senior year. Next year we will assume with pride and capability (we think) the starring roles of seniors. For the past two years we have taken part in clubs, classroom activities, sports and social events, not to forget the ever-popular Pro Merito Society whose ranks were swelled by sixty-one juniors. Our day might be complete if we could have about thirty hours in it to carry on all the activities available to us. The first event that really made us feel like juniors was the ordering of our class rings. Mr. Carl B. Risk was flooded with enough orders, ring sizes, and initials to keep him more than busy. Shortly after January, many proud smiles could be seen as we juniors sported our new, shiny class rings. Next came our class dance, and some dance that turned out to be! Dancing tigers smiled down upon the orchestra and King Tuffy proudly reigned from a-top a revolving cone to carry out effectively the theme, Tiger Rag. Orange and black streamers stretched from the cone were the order of the day plus big tiger heads covering the backboards. Frank DeSimone’s orchestra supplied the evening’s music for dancing or even floating as many seemed to be doing. Instrumentaltsts Mary Schoenfeld and Roger Dudek acted as co-chairmen of the dance committee, while Mary Jane Wenk reigned over the artists. Her quicksilver mind and original ideas plus the active assistance of Patti Greenman were responsible for the centerpiece as well as the jitterbugging tigers on the backdrop. Our second dance was the thrill of our young lives, for besid es coming in the spring, it was our first semi- formal. Lovely gowns failed to outshine the radiant faces of the girls and their escorts. This dance was one to be long remembered. Always acting with our coming seniorship in mind, we have elected competent and willing leaders to class offices. The Student Council found capable workers in Dick Labine, Archie Williams, Vinnie DiLorenzo, Ralph Pace, Tom Gallini, Cathy Bellefleur, and Nina Caolo. Our popular class officers included Dick Labine, president; Dick Moll, vice-president; Carol Gifford, secretary for the second year; and Nina Caolo, treasurer. All but Carol were new to their offices, but all were tops as leaders. This past year we have had many important committees which have been actively supported by enthusiastic students. The color and banner committees worked industriously to suggest the class colors and the banner design. Our personal opinion is that we have the sharpest colors and most original design yet! Turning from the lighter subjects to one more gruesome, many of us found ourselves confronted with a much stiffer course than that which we sailed through in our freshman year.

Under the cheerful sponsorship of Miss Grady, a bus was chartered for an exciting trip to the United Nations’ meeting at La ke Success. Although we haunted libraries, study halls, and literally burned the midnight oil, we must admit that there has been an element of enjoyment in solving even our toughest problems. Along with other revealing experiences, the greatest ‘“‘joy” of our junior year was the thousand-word theme required in our English course. Subjects ranged from pins to politics and back again. Although much time and effort, some blood and sweat, and a few tears were spent over our masterpieces, our reward (satisfaction for worthwhile accomplishment) wiped out all doubt as to the importance of these themes. We think it appropriate to take a two-beat rest here to mention our class advisers who have guided us in and out of all class events. Mr. Best, adviser-in-chief in our freshman year, continued to serve us faithfully even while taking on the responsibility of acting assistant-principal; and Mrs. Ruggles deserves a rising vote of thanks for acting as chief adviser during this past year. Miss Potter and Mr. McMahon plus the class auditor, Mr. Bushey, famous S.A. promoter, complete the list of truly wonderful advisers. Many of the members of our class have been appointed or elected to offices in the various activities of the school. Among these are Cathy Bellefleur, secretary-treasurer of the Pro Merito Society, and Ralph Pace, vice-president. Besides being secretary of the G.A.A., Mary Jane Wenk can always be depended upon to come up with an original idea for our dances. The “John Barrymore” or “Van Johnson” of our class is none other than “the” Phil Landon. For two years he has trod the boards in a variety of roles and will, no doubt, be Mr. Doane’s top man next year. To Cathy, Ralph, Mary Jane, Phil, and many others we offer congratulations. Due to hard work and wonderful spirit on the part of the whole class, the juniors topped the S.A. drive with 91 percent. Besides being Say It With Music Left to right: James Mears, Phil Landon, James Palmer, Bob White, Bill Missette, Nancy Fatzinger. Mr. Bushey’s Juniors at a Christmas Party. Junior Troubadours the only class to have its girls enrolled 100 percent, our large membership was one of the factors which made possible the first “All Tech S.A. Dance” in five years. Many juniors made our class proud this year on the athletic field. Football found Archie Williams and Vin DiLorenzo, pepping up the backfield and Jim Herbert, Frank Galloni, and Ron (Renaldo) Rondoletto doing a fine job in the line. The basketball season opened with Archie Williams, Joe Glasgow, and Richie Clark in starting positions and such excellent players as Ed Snyder, Roger Dudek, and Bob Hutchins ready and able in an emergency. The fine spirit of these boys added to their skill and drive makes us proud to be their classmates. The girls also have done their part, for in addition to those who have taken part in the G.A.A. activities, they are also represented on the cheering squad. Cathy Bellefleur, Sally Mortberg, Alice Tarpinian, and Phyllis Bean added color and rhythm to the football and basketball games. In the few seconds left over each day, many of us managed to get some practicing done. For why? you say. For Tantrums of course! Sheila Danenhower, Claire “Fitzie” Fitzgerald, and Mary Jane Wenk took part in one of Miss Ratto’s famous modern dance numbers, while Cathy Bellefleur, Carol Gifford, and Pat Kelley were three of a group of seven dancers who presented a beautiful number entitled “Finesse of an Eve- ning.” Besides those gifted with ‘““Tantrums talent” there are also those who make acting their career. To them the annual play is the big event. This year’s play found Phil Landon in the role of Brainstorm and Peg Robideau playing Pesky. We are, we find, always on the run, but we wouldn’t trade places with anyone. For, after all, aren’t we members of the best class ever to enter Tech? (This is our own opinion of course) ! As the final strains of “Intermezzo” drift from the orchestra pit, the spotlight dims on the present junior class. It will, however, shine again even brighter on our lives as seniors. 57 Back-Stage Antics — Left to right: Patti Greenman, Mary Jane Wenk.

Music with a snappy beat seems to be the specialty of the “Swingettes” and well it should be, for those of us who heard their rendition of “All My Love” at the ‘Tantrums VIII” agree that they’re terrific. Both Shirley Rovelli and Terry Askins are seniors, and the juniors are proud to have Alice Tarpinian represent them. Singing in a style somewhat similar to the Andrew Sisters, they did their bit to make the show the success that it was. A studied observance! Of what, we wonder. Is it one of the division pages? A new candid? Or perhaps the latest copy typed up by Mary Jane Wenk. As you may have guessed these three hard working students are members of the Tiger staff. All juniors, Patty Bennett, Jimmy Palmer, and Gorken Melikian joined the staff the last semester of their freshman year. They remained on this year and plan to continue next year. Patty is, this year, an associate editor of the yearbook staff, and all have been invaluable. These inscrutable geniuses (?) are seldom found so hard at work (or at talk as the case may be). Peg Robideau — who seems insulted at the interference of our photographer, Jim Green — and Cathy Bellefleur, the worried looking one, are both juniors from the same homeroom and the best of friends. We'll leave them to their discussion. The Inscrutability of Genius — Left to right: Cathy Bellefleur, Peggy Robideau.

The strong, res- onant quality of the bass viol may easily be compared with the voices of the freshmen who this year are building strong foundations for their other two years at Tech. Our freshman class is just as necessary to the life at Tech as the bass viol section is to an orches- tra. In an orchestra all of the instruments blend with harmony just as do our three classes. FRESHMAN PRELUDE 62 Building up Tech’s large collection for The March of Dimes — Left to right: Shirley Fontaine, Pat Black. Freshman “Airs” Dick Allan. Well, here they are, everybody, the freshman class, all set to relate with their bass viols a short story of their first year as Techites. Because of the pride they take in being a part of the Symphony of Tech, they want to tell their story. As they are likened to the bass viols of our symphony, so their story is a.basic part of life at Tech. Once upon a time — on September 6, 1950, to be exact — we were rudely awakened from our cat nap (tiger cat, of course) in the backstage of the assembly hall by the clapping of hands, the buzzing of voices and other noises. Peeking from behind the curtain we saw people! Five hundred thirty-three people, gazing with awe at our spacious auditorium, and gazing with excitement and bewilderment! What was all this? Why, of course! It was “freshie introduction” day. These were all freshmen, and a sharp looking crowd at that. Full of anticipation, these freshmen seemed to have the go-power which is a necessary quality of a good Techite. And so right we were, for they more than ably proved themselves in the months that followed. Classes were assigned and found in short order with only a little of the usual confusion. Our promising freshies were on their way! One interesting and important freshman subject was Orientation. This course was designed to help freshmen become well adjusted to Tech and to know the opportunities that exist here. It also revealed to everyone his or her personal traits and supplied good material on the development of a pleasing personality, good grooming, and appropriate manners. Also included in the course was a trip to Miss Miller’s dining room on the third floor. Miss Miller illustrated good manners for Donald Lopez putting up sign advertising “Tech Tantrums VIII.” 64 teen-agers in relation to classmates, parents, and the public. These trips were enjoyable and offered an excellent opportunity for the freshies to become acquainted. The course ended with a well-organized panel discussion by four seniors on dating. Speaking of getting acquainted, what’s more important than meeting the faculty ‘“who’s who?” Mr. Andrewes, a mathematician-plus, was the auditor for the freshman class, while Miss Shea and Miss McCarthy took the feminine spot- lights. The well-read and much-traveled Mr. Briggs and the inimitable Mr. “Hec” Reid also contributed good advice throughout the year. These advisers served well and deserve a big vote of thanks from all the freshmen. The second chapter of our story started on November 1, 1950, when curiosity encouraged us to eavesdrop on an orienta- tion assembly. There, big as life but not so confusing, stood Ralph Pace explaining the mysteries of nominations, voting, and class offices to a slightly awed audience. It was wonderful at last to be old enough to vote! The next two days found freshmen going signature hunting. When all the papers were turned in, there were eleven candid ates for the presidency. At the other extreme, there were only three candidates for the three Red Cross officers. Oh well, that’s what makes life so interesting. Campaigns such as Tech had never seen burst forth, and no one was safe. We do believe Donald McLain sat up every night making Frank Sinatra bow ties, and who made all those posters we’ll never know. The mad and merry week wound up with a wonderful round of speeches given by the candidates. Voting, we could see, was going to be a difficult job for these conscientious freshmen.

Mayors ccna ee Even the efficiency of the Student Council vote counters couldn’t avoid that re-vote which had to be taken to determine the president. Marie DeCaro, Howie Goldstein, Donald McLain and Joe Visconti were re-run; the result was a Visconti victory. The election of such capable officers was in itself, a feather in that fresh little cap of theirs. ete As the ever-busy student councilors staggered around cleaning up and discarding the reams of votes that had been used, the freshmen were positively crowing over the results of the election. Joe, of course, became the president and began immediately to carry out the requirements of his office. Marjorie Hall was elected vice-president, and the job of secretary was given to Margaret “Maggie” McDonald. The treasury department was headed by Judy Skinner whose duty it was to work with Mr. Andrewes and all the money. Members of the Student Council were positively astounded to see four freshman girls elected to the Council. Never have more than two girls from each class been elected — and along came the Class of ’53 with the girls outnumbering the boys. Marie DeCaro, Judy Skinner, Pat Black, and Shirley Fountaine were the girls; Roger Cox, Art Andrewes, and Joe Visconti represented the boys. Many freshmen this year appeared in the sports limelight both on the varsity and junior varsity squads of the football, soccer, basketball, and baseball teams. The varsity football team found Joe Visconti an able quarterback and Dick Goldrich tops in the Upper — Joan Stoltz. center position. Bill Chaclas and Howie Goldstein also played Center — Dolores Trudeau applying finishing varsity football.

And Manors Basketball found ever-so-many freshmen showing up for practice try-outs with a regularity and spirit second to none. Although Bill Lawler and Johnnie Kalloch couldn’t accept all the ability that was offered, the freshmen remained undaunted and will no doubt return next year in greater force. Outstanding among the freshman varsity members this year was Johnnie Jones, whose ability will be one of Tech’s most important assets in the coming two years. Never to be slighted are the feminine sportsters of the freshman class. They went out in hordes for field hockey, and very successful they were, too. Bowling, swimming, and basketball saw the freshie “stars” more than proving their ability to become part of activities in opportunity-filled Tech. Of course these girls became members of the G.A.A. which sponsors dances, parties, and many other activities. ‘They pitched right in and just had themselves a time. The call for cheerleaders was answered with a shout as at least forty freshmen went to practice sessions and twisted themselves into all shapes and sizes to get into condition for the try-outs. The versatility of these girls left the poor upper-classmen speechless. Since all these activities are on the girls’ own time, much credit is due them for their faithfulness. The friendly, helpful principal, assistant principal, and advisers plus a sound constitution drawn up early in the school year have guided this class through a successful first year at Tech. Well, now you’ve heard it — a brief story highlighting freshman activities, truly a prelude to the important years ahead. Now the tones of the bass viols are muted as they conclude their simple but beautiful melody. The true story of Tech freshmen includes all of them. They take a bow — on the next four pages. 67 BNR ies iS Aid Upper — Left to right: George Polverari and Bill McCarthy make the chips. Center — B. F. J. and John Roncalli.

To the musician an exercise book and a metronome are symbols of long hours of conscientious practice, but in order to improve his skills, this concentrated work is essential. We students at Tech need practice periods to gain knowledge and experience to review that which has been learned before and to test the quality of this knowledge. The musician has exercise books and metronome which he uses over and over. In school learning activities replace the books of scales; and instead of the ticking of a metronome, the steady achievement at each classroom session marks one more step toward the realization of our goal. Thus, the Tech students in the classrooms are like musicians preparing themselves for their big performance.

Life can’t always be full of melody, I guess. Each day our students are kept very busy with regular classes, one of the most important of these being English. Our English courses this year contain units of work which are based on the interests of the students. While the freshmen discuss and write about sports, hobbies, and personalities, the juniors read short stories, essays, and plays, and the seniors extend these activities. All this — and English fundamentals, too! Thus, upon graduating, the Tech English student has increased his power to speak, to listen, to read, and to write. Students in the field of social studies sometimes make a study of the newspaper with the objective of learning where to find the various kinds of news, classified advertisements, editorials, and stock market quotations. Through this study they not only obtain a better understanding of a newspaper’s viewpoint as expressed in its editorials, but they also receive a strong foundation for the advanced history to follow. Modern History students get a chuckle — Left to right: Betty Mercer, Peg Robideau, Miss Reardon, Betty Lou Alvey, Raymond Grosvenor, Gail White, Pat Baier, Phyllis Bean, George James. Left to right: Mr. Mitchell illustrates to Carol Gifford, Edward Krolik, and Gail White how to improve their pronunciation from records. As our symphony continues, we recognize some of the strains as those drifting from the Modern Language Department. Under the able direc- tion of Miss Elsa Jaede and Mr. Howard Mitchell, we French students acquire a knowledge of grammar and French literature. Victrolas and wire recorders help greatly in pronunciation and translation, for by using these devices we are able to correct our mistakes more easily. There is also an emphasis on music in the Spanish Department. Just listen to those melodious sounds drifting from Room 230! It seems that one of Miss McCarthy’s classes is listening to a Spanish record. You know, we not only learn the fundamentals of the language, but we also study the customs and traditions of the land, a practice which makes the course much more interesting. Last but not least, we hear from Mr. Fales Newhall’s room. As you have probably guessed, a German class is in progress. Mr. Newhall employs about the same principles in teaching, and at the end of the course his students might easily converse with real Germans.

The intricate passage we are about to hear is one of the most detailed and complicated in our symphony.. As you’ve probably guessed, we are listening to a review of life at Tech in the Mathematics Department. This year, in addition to algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, review math, shop math, consumer math, and strength of materials, a new course is offered to all freshmen boys and girls taking the revised General Course. This subject is called Mathematics 101 and will be ex- tremely practical for every day life from the point of view of the average high school graduate. The subject matter of Mathematics 101 is arranged in four units. Unit one reviews the fundamentals of math. In Units two and three the practical phases of elementary algebra and geometry are emphasized with a view toward developing a knowledge of mathematics which will be useful to a citizen living in our technical age. Unit four offers the management of money in personal and family matters, banks, taxation, insurance, and investments. Thus, the freshmen studying Mathematics 101 receive a good background for other required mathematics courses. Former Tech students often tell us that the training they have received in mathematics is highly beneficial, especially in preparation for college as well as in industry. Now, more than ever, there is an increasing demand for highly trained mathematicians, and our graduates have been well prepared for further study in these constantly expanding fields. Therefore, by keeping its curriculum in tune with modern times, Tech prepares its students to take their places in the life of the community. ea Oe Mla i What happens next? — Left to right: Nancy Cowing, Mr. Brooks, Robert Mullett. Did you know that some of our musicians lead double lives? They are not only accomplished performers but they are also skilled scientists. One of the reasons for their skill is that we have such a fine and complete science department here at Tech. This department is composed of three main science courses and five other courses. Freshmen girls taking biology study and experi- ment with living organisms; freshmen boys in_ physics classes perform experiments with matter and motion; chemistry students work with chemicals to learn the composition of many different substances. These three main courses are supplemented by physiography, the study of the physical features of the earth; physiology, a science relating to the processes of living organisms; meteorology, science of the atmosphere; and electronics, laboratory work and study of radio theory. This year, for the first time, a new course is being offered to all freshmen boys and girls in the General Course. This subject is called Science Survey and is just what the name implies — a survey of many different science courses taught here at Tech. The subject is divided into five units. They include Factors Upon Which Life Depends, Harnass- ing Energy, The Materials of the Modern Home, Man Against Disease, and Earth, Science, and Conservation. In the Science Survey classrooms one may observe at any time experiments of various kinds being conducted. The main purpose of this course is to enable pupils to survey each different branch of science in order to select more intelligently the subject that they wish to study during their next two years at Tech.

The rhythmical fluidity of mechanical drawing within well disciplined lines is typical of our work at Tech. After learning the various uses of the T - square, triangles, compasses, French curve, and dividers, the students begin with elementary drawings. As the year progresses, they move into more intricate passages of mechanical drawing. The fundamentals of drawing simple blocks and cones are followed by course drawings for sheet metal work. This type of mechanical drawing strikes a timely note and appeals to all pupils.- Much of the mechanical drawing work centers around the drawing of various machine parts. For preliminary work, students draw simple machine parts, such as spacers, bearings, bolts and screws, threads, cams, jacket straps, and springs. Later they undertake the more complex areas of this work, such as valves, master rods, yokes, jib bodies, tool posts, and finally gear designing, an interesting part of mechanical drawing. Another phase of activity at Tech is Architectural Drawing. In this course, the T-square and ruler come into use for the special purpose of designing plans for houses. This work requires artistic knowledge, mathematics, and good mechanical drawing. Students in this course design many neat and artistic homes. From the busy scenes of this preliminary training, students go on to careers in architecture and engineering, so important in our modern world. Many Techites eventually become highly paid draftsmen, designing machinery, houses, buildings, bridges, and count less other projects. This is but one advantage of Tech’s well rounded program. Thus our mechanical drawing department prepares students to assume responsible positions in industry with the confidence that comes from good training. To the swish-swish of paint brushes we can see some of the passages of our symphony skillfully blended into colorful compositions. As you have probably guessed, we are viewing the various art classes with Ida Roy and Helen Norrgard in charge. The Art Department consists of eight subjects which are divided between the two teachers. From the list of subjects we may elect design, interior decoration, costume design, freehand drawing, poster, crafts, landscape, or art appreciation. Design 10 is the first and basic subject because it covers many of the fun- damental principles of art. Students taking interior decoration construct model houses — arranging, designing, and selecting color schemes for the interior. In costume design pupils enjoy planning a whole wardrobe, while those in poster classes make many interesting and decorative posters. Free-hand drawing is a great favorite among Techites, for it gives the student a chance to express his emotions or mood on paper. ‘This subject includes pose drawing and outdoor sketching. Then, too, as interpretive music on records is played for the pupils, they interpret the feeling of the music on paper in an artistic manner. The mediums used are pencil, lithograph, charcoal, and watercolor. Crafts is an interesting subject which is just what the name implies. During the yuletide season one can see in Miss Norrgard’s room numerous novelty Christmas trees which are constructed by the students taking crafts. Land- scape is design as it is applied to the home and community. In this department art appreciation is the one prepared subject, and it has proven to be very useful to art-minded Techites planning to major in art in future studies. This subject, consisting of five different units, includes: design, interior decoration, costume design, architecture, and painting. All classes in art take trips to the museum each year.

No, as the lights go up, we recognize the familiar thunderings of the various shops of Tech. The rhythm of the shops reveals a powerful theme — one that is geared to modern scientific progress. The story of Tech’s wood shops introduces a theme typical of Tech. Woodturning — that is the shaping of wood on lathes — is a clever art as well as a practical phase of woodwork. After learning the fundamentals of the wood lathe and the way to run it, students then begin actual wood turning. They learn rough turning, turning diameters, beading, working to specifications, and they make such projects as inlaid bowls. Another phase of wood shop is pattern making, the making of wooden patterns for producing metal castings. Here, students apply the knowledge they have gained in wood turning and learn the use of many new and different tools.. They learn to make precise patterns, and they study the use of these patterns in foundry casting. Many machines breathe forth the harmony of their motion in tones as rich and vibrant as those of the bass section. In the machine shops the boys learn the purposes of the various machines and the correct methods of using them. Fundamentals of machine shop practice are taught through experience. Beginning with the simple prick punch and scratch-all, students gradually increase in skill and knowledge and produce Print Shops more advanced work. Tap wrenches, vices, clamps and gears, all patterned after perfection, are made by the more advanced classes. On the assembly line, a procedure which is used in some classes, each boy performs a special operation on a project as in a factory. In some classes individual work, in which each student produces his complete project, is stressed, No discords resound from this busy department of Tech. The staccato notes of the printing press introduce us to the brisk, bustling rhythm of the print shop. The sound of these machines is heard as each new project is sent to press. We of Tech are proud of the fact that much materia] used in our activities is edited and printed completely within the school. The boys of the print classes learn the upper and lower case type; they learn how to set and adjust the type in the press; and they learn the correct methods of setting up and running the printing press. From Tech’s print shop these students go on to work on newspapers and in publishing companies. The broadening swing of education at Tech is clearly shown in the courses offered in shop work. All the various shops contribute to the better education and preparation of students for the future. Tech is one of the few schools which offer such a varied program of academic and practical subjects. In business, in college, and in industry this broadness of education is vital.

You are supposed to be happy — not sad.” We then know that the rehearsal of the “Zoozah,” our annual play, is going on and a would-be Bernhardt is being directed by Tech’s unpredictable Mr. S. V. Doane, Esq. Sitting down watching our play take shape, we review this club’s activities for the year. We laugh as we remember Rowena Morey’s, Sherman Tarr’s, and Phi l Landon’s monologues. Then again in the A.E.W. play some well-known facts were made to ring a bell by the harmonious acting of Marcia Francis, Jerry Murphy, and the rest of the cast. We carried a full schedule this year including our Easter Play, our trip to the Western Massachusetts Drama Festival, and — for variety — a one-act play in local school competition. As the curtain closes for a change of scene, Tech thanks its Drama Club for many enjoyable moments. Ken MacDonald, Tech Chorale. 82 Music Music floods our ears as the curtain goes up on the Tech band playing the familiar strains of our school song. As we listen to the band render one number after another under the effective direction of Mr. Crabtree, we realize that one of the things which add atmosphere to a basketball or football game is a band. Ours attends every game. We are also entertained by the band on P.T.A. Band Night, at the United Nations Assembly, at the Eastern States Exposition, and at the rallies. This year the band, consisting of forty-two members plus six majorettes, is going to the Western Massachusetts Music Festival. Tech’s swing band, a sub-division of the whole band, plays in the “Tantrums.” During a brief interlude, Don McCarthy, student leader of Chorale, comes over, and we compliment him on the Chorale’s fine performances on Band Night, on the excellent Christmas program, and on “Tech Turns to Music.” The curtain rings down with the Tech audience still clapping for an encore.

As a symphony is composed of many passages blended into one, so Home Management and Hygiene are two subjects in which several phases of learning are combined. The main purpose of Home Management is to study household problems that will arise before and after marriage under general topics, such as the requirements of good homemakers, problems of family life, and proper buying. Tech girls, under the direction of Miss Miller and Miss Wilson, take field trips to visit community organizations to observe present conditions and materials. During the year students make note- books of topics discussed in their classes, such as the furnishing of a small apartment with a limited budget and planning a “dream house,” a wedding, and a nursery. Hygiene is a study of the problems of the body in relation to good health. The girls in Miss Borrner’s and Miss Potter’s classes study the nervous, digestive, muscular, and blood systems important to the body. In this half-year subject they learn how these systems operate and what conditions are necessary to keep the body healthy. With these courses, it’s no wonder that Tech girls graduate with a knowledge of homemaking. 84 prion antl tine eT ee IIA oak | Upper Left — Left to right: Lillian Cierpial, Theresa Askins press their clothes.

Our next theme, “Tech’s Homemakers,” emphasizes the importance of foods, clothing, and nutrition to the average girl. Four competent instructors—-Miss Wilson, Miss Miller, Miss Borrner, and Mrs. Parks—-help the girls become better homemakers and teach them how to cope with everyday problems. In Foods 10 and 11, fundamental food preparation and well-balanced meals are studied, while elaborate luncheons and teas are served by girls in Foods 12. The clothing classes are directed in the same manner: the learning of fundamentals, then the selection of special topics. The teachers realize that each girl must know how to cook and sew well to be an asset in the home. After a half-year of Hygiene, the girls take Nutrition. The main purpose of this course is to study the functions of the body and the basic foods that are necessary to keep the body functioning. Each year a study is made of the working man, the office worker, the growing child, and the infant, to compare the kinds of food necessary for the diets of each. Now at the completion of our classroom themes, let’s relax and watch Tech’s annual Fashion Show. FASHION ee a. S — a. © ap Color Strike up the band for the opening of the annual Tech Fashion Show! Lois Trites opens the door to the fashions for ’51 in a red chinchilla wool coat with flattering diagonal pockets and belted back. A delicate blue satin was used for Jackie Chapman’s bridesmaid dress which, inci- dentally, she wore at her sister’s wedding. For those extra special evenings in three-quarter time, some ef our more competent virtuosos have made beautiful gowns. Janet Jahn chose a cool green for her strapless gown with a wide flounce and green net stole. A simple but charming gown of teal blue faille with a cuff at the top was made by Joan Cardinal. Bright red crepe with a metallic silver thread running through it made an eye- catching gown with an off-the-shoulder effect for Marlene Dunn. Josephine Boryczka used peach taffeta for her becoming gown which features a strap around the neck. Left to right: Connie Jeanotte, Carol Danti, Jacquelyn Combs. 88 Left to right: Eleanor Deane, Gladys Hall, Lorraine Jenkins. The next passage in our symphony of styles brings us some very suitable suits. Eleanor Deane chose plain green wool gab- ardine for her double breasted suit with three-quarter length sleeves and cuffs. Gladys Hall’s black and red outfit has quite a novel attraction: artificial buttonholes and buttons at the waistline in the back. The tight skirt and the peplum effect on the jacket produce a bit of hip flattery. Lorraine Jenkins made her suit of small black-and- white checked wool. The jacket fastens with a single button and has diagonal pockets. The skirt is made very attractive with a kick pleat in the back. The girls we present now are making their debut in the show this year. They are modeling the always popular and prac- tical separates. Connie Jeanotte leads off with a six gore skirt of gray wool. With it she wears a contrasting red-checked tailored gingham blouse. Carol Danti has made her dark brown wool into a slimming straight skirt. Her tailored blouse, which is of white English broadcloth, has studs in the cuffs as well as down the front. A _ beautiful red and green plaid skirt with two pockets was made by Jacquelyn Combs. With it she wears a white, short-sleeved blouse with a pointed collar. Now that the tempo is set, we'll tune up for the body of the show. Left to right: Nancy Cowing, Barbara Miner. clothing classes by the girls who model them. At first, the easier aspects of the subject are considered. As time goes on, the girls be- come more competent and tackle more difficult projects. Mrs. Parks, Miss Borrner, Miss Miller, and Miss Wilson are the advisers for this annual event in which everyone from apprentice to maestro is included. The conductor raises his baton, we hear a fanfare, and the show continues. This part opens with an encore of red chinchilla wool coats. This time Ann Atanian is here in the capacity of a model. She has used her ma- terial to good advantage in a seven-eighths length sport coat. It buttons up tight at the neck with three huge pearl buttons. The coat is belted in the back and has two large patch pockets. The sleeves, with their cuffs, are right up with the fashions of today. Ann Lavoie made her beautiful, lined suit of bright canary yellow corduroy. The jacket has bracelet-length sleeves and large lapels with a pointed collar. It fastens with a single row of buttons down the front. The accent, however, is on the pockets which start at the side front seam lines and slant diagonally toward the back, lending a very slimming effect. The picture is completed with a straight skirt. These outstanding designs are really the talk of the town! Harmony The next charming outfit shows the fashions for °51 in two harmonious tones. Nancy Cowing chose gray wool for her straight skirt and acces- sories, including her hat and draw-string bag. The blue wool jacket has a flared back and fastens with three buttons at the neck, which has a small round collar. This practical jacket can also be worn as a topper. Barbara Miner has achieved a startling effect in her choice of color — a brilliant blue, yet one which shows excellent taste. Her two-piece suit dress has three-quarter length sleeves with cuffs. The overlapping band at the waistline in the back is repeated in a trio down the front. Below the ba ck band, the jacket is flared to blend into flattering extra fullness in the back of the skirt. During a short interlude, we would like to give you a little sidelight on this affair. You see, every garment shown here was made in our Left to right: Ann Atanian, Ann Lavoie. Left to right: Pat Kelley, Lorie Guzzo, Janice LaBelle. This time the downbeat brings a medley of woolen outfits which are suitable for even the “student princess.” The first one we see is Pat Kelley wearing a homespun woolen worsted plaid. Her jumper has a horseshoe neckline with a narrow collar. A wide leather belt and white blouse complete her ensemble. Lorie Guzzo chose aqua wool for her two-piece suit. Notice the unique cut of the neckline of her weskit and the many pleats in her skirt. She, too, wears a white blouse to complement her outfit. Blue and white checks are just the thing in Janice LaBelle’s estimation. Her jumper has a snug bodice which accentuates the full skirt with a six-yard hemline. Cathy Bellefleur used navy blue jersey for her dress. The styling includes three-quarter length sleeves, rounded Gold buttons and a wide tan belt are all the accessories necessary. lapels, and two pleats in the front. A tan jersey dress was preferred by Betty Mercer. The cuffs on the short sleeves, the pointed neckline, and small collar are all important parts of her stunning costume. Sally Mortberg enters on the second chorus for navy blue. Her dress accentuates the efficient look with its tailored collar and simple lines. Nancy Bower wears a navy jersey dress which features a long bodice ending in a pleat, and short sleeves. Bernice Tootill models a simple but effective outfit of light blue tweed with a contrasting red belt. Left to right: Catherine Bellefleur, Betty Mercer, Sally Mortberg. Our show reaches a crescendo with two beautiful coats. The first style is a three-quarter length sport coat of tan wool. Large patch pockets, wide cuffs, and belted back are the spe- cial attractions of this design which Odessa Booker wears. Carol Tynes, on the other hand, picked red chinchilla wool for her full-length, interlined coat. It has a single row of but- tons, patch pockets, and a belted back. Joan Woolley has For contrast, she wears Miriam Carto chose made a six-gore skirt of gray wool. a bright red weskit and white blouse. green wool for her basic dress with three-quarter length sleeves. A row of buttons from the waist to the neck ends in a pointed collar. A thin gold belt provides that finishing touch. Shirley Fontaine used cinnamon fine-ribbed corduroy for her dashing outfit. The rows of buttons from the shoul- ders emphasize her waistline. The duet coming up now features unusual jacket styles.

As the clarinet is noted for its wide range and varied tones, so the Tech students are noted for their participation in numerous activities. Whether they prefer journalism, dramatics, parliamen- tary procedure, or service to others, there is a place for them in at least one of the activities offered here at Tech. The clarinet, one of the most versatile instruments in an orchestra, symbolizes the ac- tivities of Tech. This instrument plays many parts, all of which are vitally important to the rest of the score. At Tech, the clubs and other activities not only give our school life the necessary flavor to make it both interesting and enjoyable but also offer each student opportunities for a well-rounded experience. VARIATION ON THEMES 94 Tech Tiger As the first few strains of a clarinet solo drift through the dimmed music hall, we take time to introduce ourselves to you. We, the Tiger Technicians, have tried our utmost to maintain the high standards of previous Tech Tigers. The staff has enjoyed working under the supervision of Miss Carey, our literary adviser, and Miss Hilliker, who directed our photographers, Jim Greene and Fred Baceski. Some of the many tasks set before the staff included interview- ing teachers, drawing up layouts, and writing copy, biographies, and captions. Guiding us through our difficulties was Betty Hanor, our efficient editor-in-chief. Another task, sports coverage, con- fronted Ronald Babineau, editor, and his assistants, James Palmer and Gorken Melikian. At times it seemed as if Angie Lucia, senior pictures editor, was the busiest person on the staff, making appoint- ments, sorting glossies, and running back and forth from Bosworth’s. Special credit should be given to Miss Roy for her excellent supervision of art work. Under her guidance the cover was de- signed by Donald Chamberlain, whose artistic ability is well known at Tech. The staff is also indebted to Mr. Crabtree whose judgment and knowledge of music kept us from straying too far afield in the symphonic treatment of our theme. We pay tribute to Mr. Butler, his business staff, and those seniors who were kept busy scouting for the ads in our book. All in all it has been fun and we are rewarded with a successful book. Our best wishes go to the future staffs of the Tech Tiger. Upper — Left to right: James Greene, Miss Hilliker, Fred Baceski.

The versatile clarinet’s tuneful melody takes us behind the scenes of the Tech News. Throughout the year the monthly issue has supplied Techites with the inside story of important school events. This year the Tech News has doubled in size. The news staff, under the direction of Mrs. Brazeau, worked hard to maintain high standards in this large, modern paper. Marcia Francis, editor- in-chief, has done a wonderful job turning out thought-provoking editorials. —————— With the enlargement of the paper, News Editor Ann Elphin- stone worked overtime planning its layout. Even the “super sleuths” (reporters, that is) wore paths in the halls in search of special in- terest stories for feature articles. Busy Marilyn Miller, exchange editor, sent publications of the News to some fifty persons in schools and colleges in this city and to others who are interested in what makes Tech tick. The job of planning and writing the sports page was handled by Fred Norton, this year’s sports editor. Both the News and Tiger staffs were hosts to delegates from W.M.L.S.P. (Western Massachusetts League of School Publications) when they held their spring convention at Tech. A good time was had by all. ‘““Who’s Who” and “Mascot Mumbles” columns still hold the spotlight as the two most widely read columns of Tech News, but a new column, “Ex-Techites In The News,” rapidly rose to tie them by the end of this year. We offer our congratulations to the News staff for another suc- cessful year and we wish every success to the future News reporters. De Student Councal Once a week the business of the school is considered and discussed by that remarkable group, the Student Council. The organization is harmony supreme in that its members work together for one objective, a better Tech. The min- gling of democratic service, unselfishness, and spirit of working together combine to make one of Tech’s most important and successful organizations. The Student Council this year selected Gene Herbert as its president. Ted Dimauro received the majority vote for vice-president, and the new recording and corresponding sec- retaries were Pat Cardaropoli and June Allard, respectively. All the Council members are elected annually by their fellow classmates, and they do their best to serve faithfully through the following year. The efficiency of the Student Council is most effectively portrayed by the system that it uses to distribute the responsi- bilities which so frequently come to its doors. The constitution provides for four general committees which are as follows: Legislative, headed by Ralph Pace; Properties, carefully ex- ecuted by Tom Gallini; General Welfare, under the direction of June Allard; and Activities, headed this year by Dick La- bine. Tech’s ever busy Council this year added two new committees, the George Streeter Fund Committee and the Activities Award Committee headed by John Donovan and Ted Dimauro, respectively. As no activity can be successful without faculty advisers, Tech’s Student Council has two. Miss Eleanor Reardon has for several years efficiently and successfully guided this group. Mr. Jackson, new to the school this year, has honored the Council by taking an active interest in it. A vote of thanks to our two wonde rful advisers! Big Three Conference — Left to right: Pat Cardaropoli, Ted Dimauro and Eugene Herbert. Student Council relaxes for its picture before an important meeting. Anyone wishing to see an excellent example of co-operation and sportsmanship need only peek into the mimeograph room on a Thursday during the football season. Several members of the Student Council can be seen stocking, printing, or folding those colorful programs which they sell at the games and in the lunchroom. Giving up spare time for the good of the school seems to be the usual procedure of these unsung workers. They do their work without the benefit of fanfare, yet never can it be said that they are unappreciated. All of us enjoy the results of their labor. Mr. Hewitt will vouch for the fact that the Council is one of the self-supporting organizations in the school. It raises money in various ways to support its attendance at conferences, to pay its bills, and, if possible, to contribute to the S.A. On several occasions throughout the year, an uninformed onlooker might suspect Tech of losing its grip on the straight and narrow line of sanity, for boys may be seen enacting the role of Carmen with roses between their teeth while others resemble a pot (flower, that is). Yes there are flowers everywhere. Why? The answer is simple. The Student Council has brewed a sure cure for their money troubles and unhappy Techites, for who can help being happy in the sweet smelling atmosphere that surrounds them? Roses, carnations, gardenias all seem to be much in favor as Tech goes on a buying spree. Again the Council members prove their versatility, as their apt salesmanship combined with the wonderful Tech spirit of the students causes eight hundred flowers to disappear within twenty-five minutes! All we have to say is three cheers for the Council and watch those thorns! right: Jack MacFarlane, Ralph Pace, Robert Ballard, Dick Moll, James Greene, Gordon Turnbull. Pro Merzto Pro-Merito is presented in our “Symphony of Tech” by unusual music of high quality and tone. Membership in this honor organization is the highest tribute that can be paid to any student of Tech. Perhaps a glimpse at one of its private meetings will help you to understand the value of the organization. This year we find Ed Moll conducting the meetings with Cathy Bellefleur taking notes. Ralph Pace is ready and capable of taking over in the absence of the president. A lull in the business at hand gives us a chance to observe some of the other members of the society. Isn’t that Betty Hanor, the Tiger editor, discussing her views with Bob Hutchins? And there’s Marcia Francis telling some freshmen about the convention. The members of Pro-merito consist of freshmen, juniors, and seniors with a B plus average. The marks of the previous year are averaged to determine the membership, and freshmen are installed after the first semester during an impressive assembly. Last year at the state convention Al Engelmann was elected vice-president from this zone, and that is why Tech received the honor of holding the regional Pro.Merito Convention here on October 27, 1950. Dr. Gans officially opened the program with a speech; then the Theinerts showed slides of their trip to Sweden. Dancing and enter- tainment followed a cafeteria supper, and a good time was had by all. The story told here may be likened to an unfinished symphony. It will continue, ever increasing in volume and quality. Seated: John Donovan. Standing, left to right: Ronald Babineau, Gene Herbert, and Kermit Lee. S. A. Board No symphony would be complete without business managers, and in a sense that is what the members of the S. A. Board are to Tech. They work quietly behind the scenes, constantly striving for the maximum results for all. We think it is time for Tech to know its silent workers. Heading the S. A. Board are Dr. Gans and Mr. Hewitt, with the class auditors, Mr. Andrewes, Mr. Bushey, and Mr. Newhall, assisting them. In addition, all possible sections of the school and its activities and all classes are represented by student members. All of the student activities at Tech are underwritten by the Student Association. This year Tech showed unusually fine spirit, which caused the S. A. Drive to go zooming over the 85 per cent mark. A beautiful dance at the Springfield Auditorium on November 10, 1950, was held in honor of this achievement. Now the job of the S. A. Board is to keep tabs on this money and to see that it is distributed where it will do the most good.

These able musicians are giving up their valuable study classes to help keep the various parts of our symphony in harmony. Who are these girls? They are Claire Barry, Pat Cardaropoli, Lillian Cierpial, Barbara Collins, Rita Garde, Ann King, Janice La Belle, Ann Lavoie, Barbara Miner, Ann Misterly, Carol Tatro, Joan Tovet, and Ann Yamer. Oh, we forgot. There is also a young man by the name of Bill Wheatley. These students are kept busy welcoming visitors, running errands, filing, and answering the phone. Losers of locker keys saunter through to try their luck at capturing that valuable pass key. Speaking of passes, did you know that a pass is the key to the nurse’s office? Some day you may have the opportunity to pay a visit to our new nurse, Miss Morris. While you’re there, you might become acquainted with her helpers who are June Allard, Pat Black, Ruth Cuoco, Phyllis Lord, Gerry McAuly, Rose Ann Maruca, Marilyn Smith, and Barbara Woodbury. Their duties include checking passes, caring for thermometers, and filling out record cards for patients. But don’t worry, they can always find time to help you back to the harmonious life at Tech. “Stop! Don’t cut your corners!” called one of the the numerous Tech patrolmen. Under the direction of Mr. Jackson, our patrol has done an excellent job pre- venting accidents and keeping the corridors orderly during the past school year. At all school affairs our patrol has helped by checking coats at dances, by ushering at plays, and by keeping the auditorium orderly. These boys work hard to make Tech a better school. What would any play be without a stage crew? There wouldn’t be any colorful backgrounds, lighting effects, or loud speaker system. ‘The actors wouldn’t be able to make a play successful without them. The members of the stage crew, with Mr. Winslow in charge, can change | . | . a dull, drab stage into a colorful scene. Another important job of the stage crew is closing the curtain at the right time. All in all, it can well be said that the stage crew is the backbone of every production. As we walked into the Tech store, we were surprised to see a thriving business going on. Al Engelmann, the manager, was selling handbooks on physics, chemistry, geometry, trigonometry, etc. Al is the man who sells everything to everyone, some articles at cost.

As the cadenza brings out the skill of the musician, the sports program brings out the physical skill of the athlete. To us the snare drums symbolize the tempo and spirit of Tech sports, for, as they add color and life to the orchestra, so our sports program adds color and excitement to school life. The swelling crescendo of the music is set to the stirring beat of the drums; the enthusiastic spirit of Techites is set to the tempo of the sports. =, Jae | | ra y 7 ) +. SPORTS CADENZA Ta FOOT As the stimulating notes of our school song played by the Tech Band float across the field, we see our football eleven march to the brisk rhvthm of the drums through their 1950 season. The Bengals compiled a fair record with three wins, one tie, and five losses, while showing exceptional spirit and teamwork. Tom Carey, the Tiger coach, assisted by Joe Ambrose and Frank Pollard, was largely responsible for the improvement in Tech’s gridiron showing. A surprising Tech team turned out victorious in its initial game against Pittsfield. Pittsfield dominated the play in the first half and scored its lone touchdown. In the second half, a spirited Tech squad took the field and the tide turned completely. Spearheading Tech’s offensive was Archie Williams, assisted by Captain Ed Moll and Vin DiLorenzo. Williams went over from the three to knot the score at 6-6 as the try for the extra point failed. Minutes later Bob Rubner recovered a fumble on the Foxes’ 26, and Tech drove to the Pittsfield 12. The Foxes kicked to their own 35. Grassetti heaved a pass to Rondoletto on the 19 as the Tigers threatened again. Tech caught fire again after a few quick punts in the fourth quarter. With Williams and Moll leading the attack, they pushed across the winning touchdown, and the game ended, 12-6. The thrilling duel between Tech and the Hartford Owls ended quite appropriately as they walked off the field in a 13-13 deadlock.

From this point Hartford surged to a touchdown, the conversion was good, and Hartford led, 7-6. In the second and third quarters it was a nail and tooth battle with Hartford scoring once. With four minutes left in the final period, Aldo Grassetti hit Bob Malvezzi with a pass, and the latter legged it fifty yards for the score. Archie Williams sliced off tackle for the conversion and a 13-13 tie with Hartford. A rugged and highly experienced Gardner High eleven handed Tech its first taste of defeat, 13-0. Captain Ed Moll and Archie Williams did some fancy running, but when the chips were down, the strong Gardner line held. This line proved to be the deciding factor in Gardner’s triumph over Tech. Tech’s best effort to score was staged late in the third and early in the fourth quarter but was halted one foot from pay dirt. A threatening but fumble-and-penalty-plagued Tech team succumbed to the lone 65 yard sprint of a power-city lad. Although Tech threatened throughout the second half, penalties and fumbles kept the Tigers from that extra push into the end zone. Tech fell before the onslaught of Greenfield High by the score of 31-6. The Green Wave pounded the Tech line at will, gaining 302 yards on the ground. The lone Bengal drive came midway in the fourth quarter, when Archie Williams went on 23 and 32 yard jaunts.

The Tigers marked up their first intercity win over Classical, 13-6, as Malvezzi tallied twice. In the opening period John Manteria, Archie Williams, and Bob Malvezzi carried the ball downfield to pay dirt. Archie Williams pierced the line for the extra point. Classical retaliated with their lone score making it 7-6. In the third period, Julio Savioli intercepted a Classical aerial at a propitious moment to put Tech in position to score on a Grassetti-to-Malvezzi pass. This ended the scoring of the contest as Tech’s defense held Classical scoreless through the second half.

In the third and fourth quarters Holyoke unleashed two touchdowns to win, 19-7. Tech, striking hard and fast for all of its points in the second quarter, drubbed the Westfield Bombers on a muddy gridiron, 15-6. In the second period, Bob Rubner tackled a Bomber in the end zone for a safety and Tech’s first two points. Aldo Grassetti wove 28 yards for Tech’s first touchdown, and Ed Moll wound up the Bengals’ scoring by sprinting 10 yards for the second score.

However, Tech was not denied a chance for victory as Williams broke through the center, cut to the right, and scampered 72 yards to the end zone. Grassetti pitched to Rondoletto and the score remained tied at 13-13. Cathedral then set the stage for its final touch- down pass. Time was the only deciding factor in this contest. From these brief throwbacks on the season’s games, we find the stars include Bob Rubner and Stu Whitlock supporting the line, Bob Malvezzi doing some neat work at right end, Archie Williams and Captain Ed Moll expertly toting the pigskin in the backfield.

Bill Lawler, who made his debut as head coach of the Bengals, proved his ability to pilot a championship team. Co-captains Jimmy Jones and Bob Mullett, along with Johnny Jones and Archie Williams, were the ouistanding players. The Tigers sported a 12-3 record as they went into the Western Massachusetts Tournament. The Lawlermen, making up for a lack in height with dazzling speed and snappy ball handling, displayed everything from curling layups to half-court string sizzlers. Here’s how the “Basketball- ing-est” squad in the city refuted the pre-season prophecies and walked off with another interschool title. In the second annual Basketball Jamboree, the Tigers conceded a | two-point victory to the Cathedral Panthers. The Tigers started fast and | jumped into the lead. All was well until, with two minutes to play, the | Panthers scored on two foul shots. Twenty seconds later Cathedral ended the scoring with a corner set shot and won the game, 20-18. | The Bengals, in their first scheduled contest, recorded an impressive | 57-40 win over Lockwood High. Jimmy Jones and Bob Mullett, the only | returning lettermen paced the interschool champions to victory with | twenty-three and thirteen points respectively. The Tigers trailed 18-15 at the quarter but racked up eighteen straight points to hold a 34-18 half-time margin. Tech then coasted to victory with points to spare. A well-drilled Worcester South squad, substituting for their city-mate | Worcester North, displayed a sparkling offensive as they turned aside the Tigers, 55-51. Tech led for the first six minutes, but Worcester soon caught fire and, with a spectacular offensive, ran up a 55-51 score. Four of Worcester’s first five men hit double figures, but Jimmy Jones of the Lawlermen was high scorer with eighteen points. Exposing their interschool crown for the first time, the Tigers drubbed Trade 54-38. This victory started the Tigers rolling to an Upper Left — Eddie Clark up for a shot against Cathedral at the Jamboree. Joe Glasgow in foreground.

The Bengals roared to a 29-19 lead in the third quarter, but Trade fought back and cut the margin to six points. At this point, Jimmy and Johnny Jones combined for seven straight points to give Tech an insurmountable lead. The Tigers’ roar could be heard echoing throughout the Field House as they upset Classical 51-49. Coach Bill Lawler’s gamble paid off, as he used a complete new team for the second period which ended 23-22 in Classical’s favor. In the third period Classical built up a 39-32 lead, but Tech turned on the heat in the fourth period as Johnny and Jimmy Jones each netted three baskets. In the last minute of play, Irv Hamill stole the ball and curled in a layup to give Tech a 50-49 edge. Jimmy Jones added a foul shot, and the game was over. With Jimmy and Johnny Jones leading the way, the Tigers won their third straight over Worcester North, 43-35. The Tigers started fast and took a 25-17 halftime lead. In the last two periods Worcester improved, but Tech continued to play them on more than even terms. Jimmy Jones scored thirteen points, and Johnny Jones scored ten for a Tiger victory. Fighting an uphill battle against the Red Raiders of Commerce, the Tigers came within a basket of defeat. The law of averages finally caught up with the city champs and the Bengals just couldn’t get their offensive rolling. The Raiders led the way into the third period, 14-11. From this point the score see-sawed back and forth with the Bengals managing to squeeze out a 32-31 triumph. The Tigers displayed an alert and highly polished brand of basketball as they downed the Westfield Bombers 73-40. There was little doubt in the minds of the fans that Tech would win. Richie Clark, Bob Mullett, and the Jones boys led in the scoring department. During the second half, Bill Lawler gave all of the all-important subs a chance to play and rested the regulars for the coming Cathedral game.

Richie Clark, playing an effective role in controlling the backboards, picked up fourteen points. On the offensive, the Tigers moved the ball well, making their shots count. Playing as a unit, our team proved invulnerable to the Panthers. Archie Williams was high scorer with seventeen points. The upset battle between the Tigers and Holyoke proved as exciting as any previous contests between these rivals. The first half was ragged and the Tech set shooting was everywhere but in the basket. In the second half, the Tigers settled down and proceeded to trim the Holyokers, 62-52. The Jones boys and the Clark brothers all hit double figures for Tech. Tech—or should we say Jimmy Jones—opened up | in the last period to knock the props from under Trade and collect its eighth straight victory, 70-56. Co-captain Jones made eleven of his nineteen points in the last five | minutes. The Beavers, behind 26-11 at the end of the first quarter, fought their way toward the Tigers’ score | only to be smothered by Jones’ “coup.” Classical was alert; Tech was not. That’s the story behind Tech’s only interschool loss, 51-44. The Bulldogs took an early first period lead, 15-10, only to lose it to Jim Jones goes up for a shot, which is blocked by Cathedral. the Tigers. In the third quarter the Bulldogs regained their lead and tenaciously hung on as the battling Tigers threatened throughout the balance of the game. Johnny Jones led the Tech scorers with sixteen points. Climbing aboard the victory bandwagon again, the Tigers downed Westfield High, 79-60. The Bombers offered only first period opposition as they took a 19-16 lead. In the second canto the Bengals stepped up their tempo to make the game one of the wildest shooting of the season. Our battling team, with superior ball- { | i i A free ball comes off the backboard in the Worcester South game.

Although the Lawlermen held the Commerce boys to two baskets and seventeen points while winning 39-17, they ran no rings around the clever Commercites. Our Tigers gained a great respect for these fighting Commerce boys. After this sore spot in their record, the Tech men looked forward with an avid determination to the Cathedral game. The Tech Tigers copped their second straight interschool title with a _ well-earned victory over Cathedral, 53-38. Trailing only once, the Tigers soon took the lead and coasted the rest of the way, as the Panthers scrambled in vain for the ball. Johnny Jones played a brilliant game for the Tigers, taking the scoring honors with seventeen points. For a surprising upset victory, Searles High eliminated the Tigers from the Western Massachusetts Tournament in an overtime contest. The Tigers, as expected, walked all over the Great Barrington champs in the first quarter. But Searles soon became adapted to the larger surface and began to give the Tigers trouble. The score at the end of regular play was 52-52. In the three-minute overtime period, Searles completely stymied the Tigers and won 61-53.

The Tigers won their first five games, and the outlook was very bright; but during their last six games the team won only two games. Setting a fast tempo, Tech, led by Mullett, Pasteris, and Korell, opened the season by downing Hartford Public in a thrilling game, 9-8. In the fourth, the Bengals came up with three runs to take a 3-0 lead. In the fifth, the Tigers appeared to salt the ball game away with a five run rally. Hartford con- tinually picked away at Tech’s lead with three runs in the sixth and two in the top half of the eighth to tie the game at eight all. The Tigers finally won out in the last of the eighth on Mullett’s single, a sacrifice, and Johnny Pasteris’ hard single to right. The Tigers made quick work of Chicopee, building up a fast 8-2 lead. Tech increased its lead to 12-3 in the sixth, and it looked as if Chicopee had nothing left. But the Chicopee players who had been hitting the ball hard all afternoon finally started getting base hits as they made a desperate try to tie the game with a six-run rally in the seventh. They failed by four runs, as Tech held to win the three hour marathon, 13-9. Tech defeated Trade easily, 6-2, in a loosely played game. Five runs were unearned, and Trade was held to but five hits by Keefe. Bob Mullett featured at the plate with three hits. “Lefty” Ferrero and Oscar Korell were also standouts. In another close ball game, the Tigers edged Classical, 8-7. Both teams committed four errors. The Bengals took a quick four run lead, paced by Korell’s three run double. By scoring two in each of the middle three innings, Classical tied the game, 6-6. Tech got a run apiece in the sixth and seventh and managed to salvage the game, 8-7. Mullett continued his heavy stick work with three hits. Commerce proved to be no worry to Tech as the Tigers rambled over the weak Red-Raiders from State Street, 13-4. Everyone got into this one as Bill Lawler cleared the bench. The Tigers really roared. For the first time in six games the Tigers had to face the music as Holyoke, who went on to win the State Champion- ship, edged them out in a very close game, 7-6. The game was never wide open as neither team could attain an advan- tage. Both pitchers had fine control and their support was good. Holyoke was the first to score, but Tech countered with two more to take a short lead, 2-1, in the second inning. Hol- yoke picked up single runs in the third and fourth and two in the sixth to take a 5-3 lead. In the last of the sixth, Tech scored three times, with Korell and Ferrero leading the attack. Holyoke went on to win by getting single runs in the eighth and ninth to end Tech’s five game winning streak. Roaring back from their first defeat, the Tigers defeated their arch-rival Cathedral, 7-4. The game was close and hard fought. “Lefty” Ferrero was the Bengal’s hurler, and even though he gave up eleven hits and four runs, his clutch pitch- ing was great. With the score 3-3 in the seventh, the Tigers broke the game up with a four run rally, featured by Tony Dias’ two run single. Tony Dias led Tech at the plate with four solid hits, and Whitlock and Korell also starred with two hits apiece.

None of the Tech pitchers had their form, and Classical took advantage of the Tigers’ many errors to build up a 10-3 lead. Finally in the sixth, the Bengals began to roar as they started to find the range with base hits, the big blows being Korell’s triple and Caplette’s homer. Due to a park rule the Tigers had no chance to bat in the last of the ninth, and lost, 14-12. The Tigers next moved to Pittsfield. The game was one of the best Tech played, even though they lost in the tenth inning, 8-7. Pittsfield built up a gradual lead over the Tigers and it looked as if Tech was out of the ball game. Combined with timely clutch hitting and three Pittsfield errors, the Tigers worked their way out of the hole to tie the game. Because of this, the game had to go into overtime. Tech managed to score one run in the first of the tenth and it looked as if the tables had turned. However, the boys from Berkshire County weren’t to be denied as they pushed across two runs and won, 8-7. John Pasteris takes his swings during batting practice; Bill Lyons catching. Stewart Whitlock knocks a few out during batting practice; Bill Lyons catching. In another free-scoring game, Poughkeepsie, New York, defeated Tech, 17-10. The Tigers enjoyed a quick lead, scor- ing seven in the second and two in the third to lead 9-6 as New York got six in the third. But, as in the last two games, the Tigers couldn’t hold their lead and Poughkeepsie scored “Lefty” and Vin Ferraro hit hard for the Bengals, with Lefty hitting a long five runs in each of the last two innings to win. home run and Vin a triple. Holding their brisk rhythm, Tech smoothly overpowered Commerce for a second time, 10-4. Tech’s co-ordination and timing were in perfect harmony. The Tigers closed the season by losing to Cathedral, 5-2. Ted Keefe and Dick Caplette both worked hard on the mound, but the Panthers were not to be denied. Tech never ied in the game but managed to hold a terrific Cathedral team to only five runs. The Bengals just couldn’t seem to find the range, while Cathedral was hitting the target regularly. To Bill Lawler who conducted them through a har- monious season and to the team we say bravo for a great show! “Yer Out!” calls the umpire as John Pasteris nicks a runner at first. ye beh sl DS ONL ot Ni i 8 ca oe HLF tel : elas . wel . pS Bec = ae Terrific action in the Tech-Easthampton game — Left to right: Leon Jaeger, Ronald Babineau and Frank Bauchiero of Tech. Tech’s fast moving soccer team completed a successful season combining seven wins, two ties, and four losses to finish with an excellent record. In their debut against West Springfield, the Tech booters started late but finally won 3-2 with some fine passing. In their second game of the season against a highy touted Ludlow team, the Tigers showed terrific drive and power in winning 1-0. Next came a close squeeze over Cathedral, 1-0, in the Because of a bad break and a technicality the Bengals lost to Monson, 2-3.

The Tech men remained in a second place tie with Commerce just two points off the leading pace of Classical. To open the Western Massachusetts Tournament our Tech booters journeyed to Smith School and rode to an easy victory, winning 6-0. The hopes of Tech were high as they entered their second game with Easthampton. Although they fought hard and showed plenty of spirit, the Tigers went down, 2-0, and so did their tourney chances. Although they won no championships, our booters were an above-average team with all of the qualities of champions, especially good sportsmanship, whether winning or losing. They proved their worth by being the only team this year to beat Ludlow’s. Western Massachusetts Championship team.

Tech runner George Kapidian on first hurdle. Tech’s track team roared through the season to the tune of four victories, including the Western Massachusetts Cham- pionship and City Championship, with only one loss to Suf- field Academy. Under the coaching of Milt Orcutt and the leadership of Captains Eady and Kresick, the Bengals enjoyed an excellent season, one which revealed the spirit of true me lecnites. To open the season, the Tiger bared its fangs and showed its strength by sweeping to a 60-37 victory over Classical. Eady of Tech took the running high jump and set a new record with his javelin throw of 175'2 feet. Kresick placed first in the 100-yard dash and discus throw. Next, Tech soundly defeated Pittsfield 6212-411 at Clapp Park. Stan Kresick’s three firsts starred for the Bengals. Eady was close behind with two victories. Tech’s only defeat came at the hands of a very strong Suffield Academy team. The score was 56%-41¥3 as the tough Suffield team overcame the fighting Tigers. Kresik breasts the tape in the Western Massachusetts Meet, Manteria bringing in third. Our spirited boys set a terrific tempo to defend success- fully: the coveted Western Massachusetts Track Title. Milt Orcutt’s addicts of the oval chalked up four firsts, which, com- bined with place points, were enough to edge out Classical by a score of 34-27.° The grand finale came when Tech closed the season in tune by rolling up a total of 60 points to take the intercity title. Eady of Tech set a new record in the javelin throw with a toss of 163 feet 11% inches. The day’s upset came from freshman Dan Hickey of Tech who won over Rose of Classical in the 880 run. Altogether the Tech team turned in a superb record in fine playing and clean sportsmanship. Standouts on the team included Kresick in the dashes and discus; Eady in the javelin, high jump, and shot put; and Freese and Veins in the long runs. Congratulations go to the whole team which gave a grand performance in all departments. Tech is proud of them!

SWIMMING This year the Tech swimming team once again displayed oustanding aquatic ability. The mermen started off on the right beat as they sank Classical, 44-27. Tech swimmers then suffered their only high school dual meet loss to Hartford Public, 44-25. The Orcuttmen tripped Holyoke, 35-31, for their second win. Our Tech H.O club then tucked away its next five dual meets, taking at least six out of a possible eight events each time. The Tiger tankmen drowned Suffield Academy twice, 36-19 and 35-30; swamped Hartford Bulkeley, 40-26; walked over Holyoke once again, 42-24; and annihilated Classical in their return meet, 45-21. Tech also squeezed in its seventh Western Massachusetts Championship ten points ahead of Amherst. With Tyler and Kutzenko clipping records, the score stood Tech 52, Amherst 42. Our water whiz kids cut the water once more, only to wade out with the Massachusetts State Swimming and Diving Championship! Tyler and Kutzenko rolled up the points with two wins each, but the clinching markers came when Keith, James, Clifton, and Sikes splashed home second in the 200-yard freestyle relay. Looking over the record which the Tech mainstays have compiled this year, we note that Roger Clifton, Ronnie Kutzenko, and Terry Tyler won nearly all their outings up to the New England Tournament. The only exception was Clifton’s placing third in the State Tourney and losing to Hartford Public. Gene Sikes, Tech’s diving expert, was undefeated in all dual meets except those against Holyoke’s Grabowski. Ed Kopyscinski featured in the 100-yard back- stroke for Tech. Representing Massachusetts in the New England Tourna- ment, Tech picked up sixth place. Tyler placed fourth in the 100-yard freestyle, Clifton placed third in the 40-yard freestyle, and Kutzenko finished third and fourth in the 200-yard freestyle and 100-yard breaststroke. Our outstanding teams of the past have always exemplified the skills of our coaches, but this is the first year in our history that any Tech team has copped the state title! 118 Upper They're off to a fast start in the 40-yard free-style!

HOCKEY The 1951 Tech Hockey Team completed the scale of a spirited season tied for second place with Classical in the Western Massachusetts League. The record shows four wins, one tie, and two losses. Let’s go over the blue line and hit the high notes of the season. The Tigers opened their season by losing to West Spring- field, 4-2. Although the Tigers fought hard and played well, the defending champions of Western Mass. took the honors. Swinging into a brighter tune, the Tech pucksters hit their stride, overcoming Holyoke 5-1. Led by the fine playing of Doug Robinson, Ralph Spolzino, Ace Bailey, and Tony Dias, the Tigers breezed to victory. Taking their second game in a row, the aggressive Tech men toppled a determined Westfield squad, 3-1. ‘Tony Dias, Doug Robinson, and Louie Roncarati shared scoring honors for the Tigers. Phil Eisner and Alan Hardina played well on defense. The spirited Tech squad and the Classical Bulldogs met in a 2-2 deadlock as each team displayed very strong offensive play. Dick Lucey and Tony Dias scored early in the second period, and Tech held the lead until the Bulldogs knotted the count in the final minutes. Jumping back into the win column, the Tigers defeated Trade, 2-1. Dick Hardina scored the first Tech goal and Ralph Spolzino pushed through the winning marker. Power- house West Springfield had to come from behind to take the measure of the dangerous Tech men in the final Western Mass. playoff, 7-2. The Terriers had too much on the puck for Tech’s defense to handle. Coached by Tom Carey, the Tiger squad consisted of Dick Bailey, Tony Dias, Dick Lucey, Louie Roncarati, Doug Robinson, Phil Allard, Ted Magiera, Bud Beaumier, Ken Lambert, Alan Hardina, John Duggan, Dave Stratton, Paul Jacques, Phil Eisner, Max Boshko, Bud Johnson, Carl Eberhard, and Ralph Spolzino. BRS pes rte ene nee mete hierecen maw GOLF Tech’s crack golf team, consisting of Captain Jim Jones, Bob Nye, Bob Layman, Dick Wohlfahrt, John Granfield, and Dick Haywood, worked in close harmony to conclude a hard-fought season with the Western Massachusetts Championship: eight wins, two ties, and five losses. As a prelude, our clubbers outpointed Ludlow, 11-61%. Next, the Holyoke golfers earned a 9-9 stalemate with the Bengals. The Tigers split with the Amherst Frosh, Tech winning in match play and Amherst taking the four-ball style. Mount Hermon then handed the Bengals their first defeat, 612-2¥2. The Tigers’ second defeat came at the hands of Chicopee, 10%-41%. The Bengals proved to be good rainy-day competitors as they outclassed Ludlow, 81-61%, in a downpour. Wilbraham Academy found tough going as each Tech player took three points to rack up an 18-0 victory. Next, Mount Hermon edged out the Tigers, 5-4. The Orange and Black lost another tight battle to Chicopee, 8-7. The ferocious Tigers handed Classical two quick losses by scores of 94-84% and 8%-1. Our swingers roared and rolled over Pittsfield, 10%2-11%2, one day and 12-0 the next. The fifth and final loss of the season came at the hands of powerful Holyoke, 6-3. For the third time, the Tech golf team captured the Western Massachusetts title, which allowed them to retire the Republican Trophy. The Tigers scored a cool 326, which was nine strokes under the runner-up, Classical. Jim Jones, who shot a 75 in regular play, lost the medalist playoff to Norm Bernard of Chicopee by two strokes. The Tigers, conducted by the versatile Tom Carey, showed champion- ship form all around, and we cannot forget their hard-working manager, Don Witkoski!

The record our team compiled was exceptionally good, considering that it was the first year Tech has competed in tennis. Running up three wins against two hard-fought losses, Tech main- tained its high standing in sports. Tech lost its initial game against highly touted Classical High School, 0-6. Captain Harold Colby, playing the number one position, accu- mulated a five-game personal winning streak after losing the opener to Classical. Tech, in its second match, faced Ludlow High School at Ludlow, where our team hit its stride and came up with an impressive 5-1 win. The still-advancing Tigers defeated Westfield High, 4-2, in a well balanced match. Tech faced Greenfield next, and although Harold Colby kept his win streak intact, Tech lost a fierce match, 0-5. The always-fighting Tech team bounded back in its last game to beat Easthampton High School, 5-1. Closing their season in favorable fashion, the Tigers took the deciding game, which put them one up in the win column. The Tigers’ doubles combination of Harold Colby and Leonard Greenberg was very successful. They worked stretches of brilliant tennis and finished an exceedingly good season. This was followed up with the combination of Matzko and Rene LaRose, who aided the cause by playing winning tennis. The 1950 Tech tennis team was slated as follows: Harold Colby, playing in the tough number one spot; Leonard Greenberg, working in the gruelling number two position; Rene LaRose, running the powerful number three position; Bob Matzko, playing the lightning number four position; and Richard Lucey, doing a fine job as spare. The 1950 Tiger team, coached by Mr. Tom Carey, gave a resounding performance. Upper Right — Bob Matzko driving one over the net. Center Right — Practice session at Forest Park.

Intramural Each year as a prelude to the basketball season, various homerooms of the school organize teams and play intramural games. A variety of teams play every Tuesday and Thursday against stiff competition. The teams this year were extremely aggressive and played as if trying for the Western Massachusetts title. A chenille basketball emblem was given to each member of the eham- pionship team. This was one reason that the teams played so hard. Bill Lawler, the basketball coach, watched these games with great interest and picked some of the varsity basketball players from these teams. Four teams played each night and a record of results was kept. The semi-finals were coming, and the top teams played even harder to maintain their posi- tions or climb higher. _ Finally the semi-finals arrived, and three teams were to participate. They were Rooms 202, 327, and another team Up for the rebound in the Intramural Finals — Left to right: Knowlton McIntyre, Eddie Clark, Richie Clark, Bob Booth. Basketball made up of four or five rooms which represented Room 215. In the first of the semi-finals, 202 played 327 and lost by a score of 28-26. But the players from 202 weren’t discouraged because they still had a chance to get into the finals. It was a close game all the way, and 327 won it in the last two sec- onds. The buzzer rang just as the winning shot passed through the net. The following night, 202 played against 215 and lost by the score of 85-58, as 215 with their height controlled the backboards. This defeat eliminated 202. In the finals 215 won over 327 by a score of 50-41 in a close game. Tech’s championship team, consisting of team- mates Ed Clark, Jack Unwin, Ronald Patenaude, Bill Rich- ards, and Robert Gowin, defeated Classical’s champions in two games. The score of the game played in Tech’s gym was 58-27 and in the Classical gym, 67-31. Intramural basketball is just one of Tech’s many gym activities open to all students within the school.

In order to acquire grace and smooth lines in music, a musician practices many extra hours; in order to acquire grace and smooth movements in gymnastics, a gymnast also prac- tices many extra hours. The Leaders’ Squad, a new organiza- tion that has been added to Tech’s extra-curricular program this year, is especially designed to give young gymnasts who are particularly proficient an extra chance to practice. Member- ship in the Leaders’ Squad is open to any Tech boy who is desirous of furthering his skills in gymnastics. The squad consists of about thirty members and meets every Friday after school in the gym to receive instruction and training in calis- thenics and on the apparatus. This training consists largely of learning acrobatic stunts and maneuvers on the apparatus. Training on the trampoline, high bar, low bar, parallel bars, rings, mats, springboard, ropes, bucks, and horses, the young gymnasts start from the simpler stunts and gradually learn Leaders’ Bottom’s Up — John Bellas. the more complex ones. This training is exceptionally valuable in developing physical fitness, agility, and muscular power. Another phase of this training is the healthful group calisthen- ics practice which is carried on each week. The students not only train their bodies but also learn how to lead a group in gymnastics. This becomes helpful to gym instructors in their regular classes. When an instructor needs help in dem- onstrating a maneuver or in leading a class, he is free to call on a member of the Leaders’ Squad. As the name implies, the boys of the squad are leaders in gym work, and many of them plan to further their gym work in college and in later life. The present class is ably headed by Joe Ambrose and Bill Lawler, assisted by three Springfield College undergraduates. Each squad member has received a shield and jersey showing the significance and importance of his voluntary efforts. Squad Hold it. — Top, Robert Maurice.

After a performance by its officers: Marilyn Smith, president; Nancy Cowing, vice-president;.and Mary Jane Wenk, secretary ;—with our two popular gym teachers, Miss Gray and Miss Ratto, in the background—we become acquainted with this club. The G.A.A. is an organization that sponsors after school sports activities for girls who are interested in them. However, all is not sports, for a number of social affairs are held during the year. This year an old-fashioned square dance was held in the boys’ gym. The music provided by the Melody Boys plus the transformation of the : gym into a barn helped to give that extra special touch to the fes- | Terry Askins hits a home run. Ont . ; , | tivities. Next came a roller skating party held at the Rialto rink. Highlights of field hockey at Magazine Playground after school. Although there was some slipping and falling, no one seemed to mind, and a good time was had by all. Came the Yuletide season, also the G.A.A. Christmas party. The club room was decorated in true seasonal style. Plenty of re- freshments were served, games were played, and dancing was en- | joyed. Before anyone realized it, it was time for the party to end. Perhaps the biggest event during the G.A.A. year was the informal winter dance held in the boys’ gym with music and all the attractions of a good dance provided. Turning to the athletic side, we first note that many girls with hockey sticks, pads, and balls scurried up to the park after school to play one or two fast games of field hockey. Soon winter came, and bowling became one of the more popular sports. Every Wednes- day and Friday most of the girls went to the alleys, either for pure enjoyment or for the betterment of their scores so they might The girls bowl them over — Left to right: Rowena Morey, Marcia Harper.

Every Tuesday at three p.m. there was a steady stream of girls, giggling and laughing as they entered the Boys’ Club, all ready for a pleasant hour of splashing around. Basketball was in full swing after December, and every Tues- day freshmen ventured on the basketball court to try their luck. On Thursdays the upper classmen did the same. Before the season closed, teams were chosen and a couple of spirited games were played. These games were in the class with the boys’ varsity teams —at least as far as excitement went. Next on the schedule came volleyball. Nets were strung up, somewhat haphazardly, and everyone got into the games whole- heartedly. Although the teams weren’t quite professional, we’re proud of them. Besides volleyball there were also ping-pong and badminton. True, although some of the birdies got their feathers rumpled and a few of the ping-pong balls got dented, t here were many fast, breath-taking games. Winter’s icy hand loosened its grip, and spring broke out all over in all its fresh greenery—and softball broke out all over with it. On two out of the five school days there was softball practice after school at Magazine Playground. On these two afternoons you could stop by and see the field dotted with girls dressed in shorts, blue jeans, and gym suits. Some were practicing pitching, trying to get that kink out; others were in the thick of an intense game. Since softball was the last after school sport, there was a grand turnout. The sports mentioned were not the only ones connected with Tech. In the gym classes modern dancing, apparatus work, stunts, and exercises provided a challenge for everyone. Thus, with a flourish and a roll of drums, we bring to a con- clusion the final movement of the “Symphony of Tech.” 125 Left to right: Pauline Rueli, Dolores Ballow, Delores Malloy, Lillian Mironowich, Dotty Burland, Carol Welch.
