Thus, the principals, office staff, and the teachers and classrooms section serve as “Directors.’’ The Seniors are prominent in their roles of ‘‘Stars,”? with Juniors aiding as the “Supporting Cast” and Freshmen serving as “‘Supers’’ (short for Super- numeraries, or extras). All school activities are represented as either “Intermission Acts” or “Production Numbers,” while the theatrical term, “‘Angels,’’ covers the appropriation of money used to back the show. The cover was selected under the supervision of Dick Robinson and Deana Mete, Art Editors, and Miss Ida Roy, Art Advisor. The division pages, cover linings, and cartoons were the artistic works of Barbara Muir and the Art Editors. SYNOPSIS Page Directors .

Gifford has done much to raise the standard of the school, always basing his ideas on “‘what would make Tech not only better, but more efficient.” An active member of all Tech projects, Mr. Gifford has supported all school activities with his famous foot- ball-winning plaid tie, which has proven itself a good- luck charm. Under his direction, all administrative details have gone off to perfection. Apart from his executive duties, Mr. Gifford finds time to indulge in his favorite hobby, fishing.

Jackson can always be seen rushing about, either in pursuit of some unlucky truant, or to an important con- ference. When Tantrums time rolled around, ‘“‘Bob” Jackson aided us in producing a top-notch school show. The Student Patrol is another responsibility which is ably headed by Mr. Jackson. Besides collaborating with Mr. Jackson, assistant principal Mr. Melvin A. Lynch has various administra- tive and disciplinary duties of his own. Also very active in the Naval Reserve, ‘‘Mel’? Lynch holds the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Left to Right, Mr. Belding F. Jackson and Mr. Melvin A. Lynch. moO—-nmnOQO Left to Right — standing — Mrs. Angers, Mrs. Norris.

In their newly remodeled office, Miss Gilwech, Miss King, Mrs. Norris, and Mrs. Angers are the capable and experienced assistants who keep the office running smoothly. Miss King, a graduate of Commerce High last year, is looking forward to many more years at Tech. Mrs. Norris and Mrs. Angers have completed two and eight enjoyable years, respectively, while Miss Gilwech has finished a successful fifth year. Mrs. Angers and Mrs. Norris efficiently assist Mr. Gifford and Mr. Jack- son. Each office worker handles her job with great proficiency. We are fortunate to have a guidance staff as qualified as that composed of Mr. Lynch, director, Mr. McMahon, Mr. Reid, Miss Whittemore, and Dr. Theinert. They all have well-rounded backgrounds in their field of work; Mr. Lynch, Miss Whittemore, and Dr. Theinert have guided other classes in the past and are continuing their fine work this year. Mr. Reid and Mr. McMahon, new to the department this year, have had much experience in dealing with students. Both have their Masters Degrees and have taught science before accepting their new assignments. Left to Right — Dr. Theinert, Miss Whittemore, Mr. McMahon, Mr. Reid, Robert Montovani.

New Teachers Last fall, Tech welcomed to its staff nine new teachers: six in the Science Department; two in the Home Economics Department; and one in Mechanical Drawing. Among the new additions to the Science Department is Miss Anne Martin, a chemistry teacher. She is the first regular woman chemistry teacher in many years at Tech. Another chemistry teacher is Mr. Henry Trespas, who came to us from the High School of Commerce. Mr. John O’Keefe teaches chemistry and biology. He received degrees at St. Anselm College. There are two new physics teachers this year. The first one is Mr. Steven Ziemba, who taught at Trade High School before coming to Tech. The second physics teacher and the fifth addition to the Science Department is Mr. John Shea, a resident of Springfield. Besides his regular duties, which are teaching physics and physiology Mr. Shea assists in coaching football, hockey, and track. Miss Nancy Barton, who is another native of Spring- field, is an instructor in biology and hygiene. There are two new additions to the Home Economics Department: Mrs. Betty Sambor and Mrs. Anne Whatley. Mrs. Whately comes from teaching at Hartland Academy, Maine. Next door, in Room 319, Mrs. Betty Sambor is also a clothing teacher. She is our most distant newcomer, coming from Meredosia, Illinois. RETIRING TEACHERS Le ee : ee : ig ite ELSA M. JAEDE Mr. Walmer brought to a close, in January, 1955, 31 years of teaching at Tech. ‘‘Chief’’ was a one-school man and we are fortunate that Tech was that school. He came here on graduation from Springfield College in 1924, and over the years became identified as Mr. Tech himself in high school sports circles in this area. His teams —not always winners, of course — always re- flected sound training and true competitive spirit. Some 20 championships won by teams of the various sports that he coached stand on the record as testimony to his success. Not appearing on any record, however, is the fine influence for good that he exerted on Tech students as gym instructor, coach, and instructor of driver education. Chief’s future plans revolve around the operation of his private Driving School. Our best wishes for a happy and profitable retirement, Chief. On retiring in June, Miss Jaede will have completed 38 years of teaching in the Springfield School System. She came to Springfield from a teaching position in New Jersey and for thirteen years taught at the Old Central St. School and Buckingham. Since 1930 she has been a teacher of Modern Languages at Tech where her high standards of preparation for college in her field have caused first the despair and later the grateful admiration of her students. Miss Jaede’s plans for the future include travel, and wider participation in club and welfare projects in Springfield. From Tech our thanks and much happiness. IRVIN G.

When themes are assigned, tests are coming in the near future, and other vital items in various classes are due, our school library becomes of great importance to us. Headed by Mrs. Brazeau, who is better known to all as “Mrs. B.,”’ the library is kept a pleasant place. Contrary to the belief of many of Tech’s students, English is a most practical subject. When you are looking for any kind of job, your knowledge of the English language is absolutely necessary.

In the school curriculum of today the foreign languages have assumed an important position. In many fields of work a foreign language is a great asset to students. To- day there are many vocational opportunities for foreign language students. There are openings in such fields as aviation, banking, broadcasting, journalism, inter- national law, teaching, and music. Besides the practical uses of languages, there is a lot of fun in joining a foreign language class. Here at Tech we have a fine staff of instructors who teach French, German, and Spanish. Our language instructors are Miss Jaede, Miss Mc- Carthy, Mr. Newhall, and Mr. Wilke. Left to right, standing, Mike Visconti, Chet Szczygiel, Mr. Newhall.

SCIENCE From the beginning of history up to the present date, man has had an urgent desire to learn what he doesn’t know. This curiosity founded modern science. Chem- istry, with the tinkle of glassware and the sounds of violent coughing issuing from a smoke-filled Jab; Physics, with its radios, oscilloscopes, pulleys, and inclined planes; Biology, with its delightful squeals and grimaces at a dissected worm or frog, are all to teach students to be curious and to learn. Chemistry is the largest of our three sciences because both biology and physics rely on matter and its be- havior, which, of course, is the common definition of chemistry. If you should happen to be walking on the third floor during class and heard a loud report come from a room, you could surmise that a teacher had either First row front to back: Bernard Choiniere, James Dillon, Mary Conway, Beatrice Henrich.

If then you peeked into the room through clouds of billowing smoke and saw several wide- awake students with awed looks on their faces, you could further surmise that it was an explosion and it had been caused by either Mr. Northrup, Mr. Curran, Mr. Ro- mano, Mr. Trespas, Mr. Allan, or Mr. O’Keefe. Next we find Mr. Case, Mr. Snow, and Mr. Shea in their rooms on the third floor braving the dangers of beating the many laws of physics into the students’ skulls, making dents in some and even penetrating many others.

This course takes in all the sciences of chemis- try, physics, and biology, and transforms them into an interesting study. Biology, the science which covers all living things, is very well liked although many pupils take a squeamish attitude at dissecting the cadavers of frogs and other ani- mals. This course, although already quite interesting, is made all the more interesting through the efforts of Miss Potter, Miss Barton and Mr. Trespas. For the student who actually likes this type of work, Mr. Curran is available to render his expert services in the advanced biology course.

Al- though many physics students do not have the courage to go back for a second year of this, there are some who go on to the advanced physics class. Excluding Atomic Physics, Electronics is perhaps the youngest of our sciences. Although man has studied electricity for thousands of years, comparatively little is known about it. Mr. Case has been doing his best to brief the students on this mysterious energy and has spent hours helping his students build and repair radios and television sets.

From start to finish, a Tech student receives the finest train- ing in all forms of math. Our teaching staff, headed by Mr. Arthur Woodworth, is highly qualified for its tasks. The staff includes Miss Miriam Allen, Mr. George Andrewes, Mr. Perry Best, Mr. Benja- min Bushey, Mr. Nelson Butler, Mr. Theodore Chase, Mr. Henry Hewitt, Mr. Alphonse Jackowski, Miss Mary Kelley, Mr. Edgerton Moyle, Mr. Stanley Sprague, and Dr. Helen Theinert.

In these two courses, classes are offered in elementary algebra, plane geometry, intermediate algebra, and a choice of two of the following four: plane trigonometry, solid geometry, review mathematics or basic analytic geometry and calculus. In the General course, the student is offered choices of elementary algebra, genera] math, elementary algebra review, geometry principles, trigonometry, shop mathematics, strength of materials, and review mathematics.

Many students have had easy going in college in the engineering field because of the excellent background which they received at Tech. Mr. Duffin, Mr. Lennon, Mr. Biscaldi, and Mr. Loiko are our capable and qualified leaders in this department. All of these men have had practical experience in drafting rooms and machine shops. They set up an excellent program designed to make mechani- cal drawing interesting. The freshmen become acquainted with such tools as compasses, triangles, T-squares, and French curves. They make working drawings learning about the views, lines and dimensions. They also learn how to make isometric drawings. The juniors acquire advanced knowledge about projection drawing, perspective drawing and detailing. Sectional, another phase of drawing, consists of drawing parts of machines such as valves, wheels, and tool posts. The seniors can take a course in architectural or machine drawing. Mr. Duffin teaches architectural drawing in which students design homes and buildings. The machine drawing consists of drawing linkages, gears, tool, change-over, detail, and operation drawing. Boys very often do practice work by design- ing new equipment for the school. Problems from Tech shops are sent up for the boys to solve. They also make changes in the school. One room in the building was designed com- pletely by Tech students.

The histories, economics, and social habits of the nations of the world come under the topic of social studies, which is taught by Mr. Doane, Miss Grady, Mr. Hannigan, Miss Friedman, Mr. Wiatrowski, Miss Reardon, Miss Donovan, Mr. Johnson, and Mrs. Brazeau. Of the four social studies classes of United States‘ History, Modern History, World History, and Economics, United States History is the only one that is required for all students. It is generally taken in the second year and is the study of the progress of the United States from Revolutionary times up to current happenings. A knowledge of United States History is necessary in order to comprehend fully one’s duty as a citizen of the United States. It is necessary to know what the past citizens have done to secure a strong and mighty nation in order to appreciate fully one’s own good fortune in being a citizen. Near the end of the year the class usually takes up parliamentary procedure. Par- liamentary procedure is a system in which formal discussions of group meetings can be carried on with the utmost effectiveness. The freshmen at Tech take World History where they are taught the highlighting events of Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman civilizations, and Medieval times. They study the history of the world from pre- historic times up to the present. Modern History is usually taken by seniors. It is the study of Europe from the fifteen hundreds up to World War One and takes in the rise of military powers, and other historic and cultural advancements. Economics, another class for seniors, is the science that investigates the conditions and laws affecting production, distribution, and consumption of wealth. An under- standing of economics is necessary for those who go into the business or political field. HOME ECONOMICS From certain rooms on the third floor come the hum of sewing machines and the clatter of cooking utensils. The girls in these rooms are learning information that The teachers who instruct these classes are Miss Borrner, Miss Miller, Mrs. Sambor, and Mrs. Whatley. will become very important in later life. In clothing, the girls are taught to make clothes for themselves, for little children, and for older people. These skills can always prove valuable in later life. Sewing can be taken in any of the three years at Tech. Food classes help girls to learn how to prepare a meal so that it will look inviting as well as appetizing. These classes teach girls not only how to make everyday foods look different, but how to cook those strange, exotic foods. A girl learns how to fit in all the basic required foods without making every meal seem like a health pro- gram. Foods can be taken in any of the three years at Tech. Classes in home management teach girls how to keep house. All girls want to know the fundamentals of how to make a budget, and even more important, how to keep within one. This class also helps to guide girls concern- ing the best foods to buy for the least amount of money, what clothes will be warmest, and hold their shape and keep their color longest. This class can be taken during any of the three years at Tech. Pattern drafting is the class in which girls design their own clothes. By designing their own clothes, the girls have a chance to show their originality. The girls in this class get the pleasure of drawing their own patterns, and then getting the thrill of seeing the object take shape by following their own directions. 17 Left to Right — standing — Mrs. Sambor, Miss Borrner, Mrs. © Whatley.

The house lights dim, a hush falls over the audience, the usual pre-curtain thrill is felt by all. The overture begins and Mr. Lee Crabtree’s students are about to prove the merit of their combined effort in producing music far above the usua] secondary school caliber. Following the overture, the background music begins and our “Command Performance”’ is a reality. During the course of the show, we will hear our Boys’ Chorus, in which twenty-two boys combine their voices as one. Following this, the seventy girls in the Girls’ Chorus delight the listeners with their rendition of a well- rehearsed selection. Tech Chorale, a blending of fifty voices, proves that they have worked hard and succeed in demonstrating what mutual effort can create. It is then the turn of the Tech Choralette to add to our en- joyment. This group consists of seventeen specially “Mr. Music”’ himself. 18 selected mixed voices who represent and bring honors to Tech in many community programs. Quite apart from such an evening as the one described is the crisp fall day when forty-five students in black and orange uniforms strike up the Tech Band to marshal Tech rooters and put them solidly in back of our teams. The effort of this group has done much to inspire our teams, and every Tech student is proud of this music group which has provided the background music for our school life. The old adage, ‘“‘Music hath charms,”’ is well borne out by the musicians and singers at Tech. Mr. Lee Crab- tree, who is Mr. Music to us, deserves the most heartfelt thanks from all those who enjoy Tech activities.

But the art classes at Tech, under the able direction of Miss Ida B. Roy and Miss Helen Norrgard, are arranged so that future art talent in the fields of sculpture, interior decorating, dress designing, poster making, and portrait painting may get as much background and knowledge of fundamental color and design as will benefit them when they enter the art field. For those students in their first year of art in high school, there is the class of design. It furnishes them with information on the use of organization of color and shapes to make pleasing patterns as well as balanced paintings. It also introduces them to the use of different media such as watercolor, cut paper, and colored pencil.

After students have taken the design course, they may take one of several advanced courses such as Freehand Drawing, Costume Design, Interior Decorating, Poster work, or Crafts. The Freehand Drawing class is one which develops the skills of sketching and painting from real life in pencil, charcoal, watercolor, and ink. Miss Norrgard and Miss Roy take their Freehand Drawing classes over to the museum or other interesting spots to sketch. The students in the Interior Decorating class design color schemes and furniture placing to create a well- balanced room, while those in the Costume Design class design clothes and paint them from their own ideas or ideas worked up from ancient styles. The Poster and Craft classes do work that is used around the school. Left to right, standing, Jean Merriman, Everett Hahn, Agnes Scordino.

Many Ford Company awards have been presented to Tech students for their fine workmanship. Mr. Winslow, Mr. Loiko, and Mr. Hansen have done a marvelous job in teaching students thet art of working with wood. ‘They have such degrees as Bachelor of Science and Master of Education to show that they have furthered their education in order to become more pro- fessional in their field. They have also taught in other Springfield schools. In the woodturning shop students begin by learning how to set up a lathe. They then start to work and cut rough pieces of stock down to exact measurements and bead them according to a blueprint. Getting into the tougher part, they turn out beautiful inlaid bowls, small furniture, and lamps. Pattern making is another training course offered where students acquire the knowledge of the types and industrial uses of patterns. After mastering this, they start the actual shop practice. A third branch of woodshop is the foundry work. ‘There the students make castings from patterns. [he material used is aluminum. Items such as matching letter slot, door knock- ers, and bell buttons are made. Tech has indeed a shop program of which to be proud. Charles Wilson. Left to right, Bill Anthes, Robert Fraggio.

From the deep, dark, Elliot Street cor..dors come the rumble and whine of Tech’s machine shops. In these shops, under the supervision of such well-known instructors as Paul Henry, Howard Reed, George Reynolds, and John Robinson, freshmen, juniors and seniors toil at their lathes and various other equipment. Here the students start with a small product, usually a screwdriver, and work toward other more difficult projects. Mr. Robinson and others of the shop faculty hope to have some entries of unusual handiwork of the machinists for the Ford Motor Contest. More popular with the seniors is the Automotive training course to which Mr. Reynolds devotes much time. The mechanics in this class spend their time disassembling and assem- bling automobile engines. Mr. Reynolds also takes charge of the important shop service class. In this class, boys who have had experience in machine shop do important jobs for the maintenance of the school. ‘This year the boys are setting up a new shop in the basement. Besides teaching eleventh grade shop, Mr. Robinson also presides over the print shop. In this shop students begin by learning the fundamentals and printing report card blanks. The main purpose of all these shops is to introduce students to shopwork and teach them the fundamentals.

Boys Gym An important phase of any young man’s schooling is Physical Education. Here at Tech, we are fortunate in having both excelJent instructors and facilities. During the year, the teachers, Mr. Kalloch, Mr. Orcutt, Mr. Peterson, and Mr. Lawler, followed a program based upon the idea of improving the physical condition of the boys. It is a well known fact that fresh air an d sunshine are healthful. With this in mind, the classes go outside ¢ whenever possible. Indoors, there is a program of Boys’ Gym Class. : : 5 aah calisthenics, marching, apparatus work, and group games in which all participate actively. The classes also include instruction and participation in soccer, football, swimming, basketball, track, volley- ball, softball, and weight lifting. This is Tech’s method of preparing our graduates to meet life — physically as well as mentally. Girls’ Gym aoe From the halls of the girls’ gym at Tech to the Armory Left to Right: Miss Mary Gray, Mrs. Joan Kohn. you can see girls enthusiastically taking part in the various physical activities, sports, and skills. During the winter and on cooler and rainy days, activities such as bowling, volleyball, basketball, ap- paratus, square and modern dancing are taught; while in warmer weather, softball, field hockey, and soccer, are played up at the Armory. The gym classes are taught by Miss Gray and Mrs. Kohn. These activities are also led by a group of trained squad leaders, who meet before school for ad- vanced instructions. Whether these sports are indoors or out, the teachers and squad leaders do their best to keep the girls at Tech in good physical condition, and to teach them good sportsmanship. Girls’ Gym Class. 22 Typing class with Miss Shea. TYPING Any time you go by Room 314, you will hear the steady staccato of the typewriters and find Miss Mary Shea teaching students the operation of this time- saving machine. The students learn the many parts and the correct care of a typewriter and are taught how to address envelopes and arrange letters and themes. The course also includes the application of typing for school, busi- ness, and everyday life. Typing taken in high school can prove very valuable in one’s future especially if he or she plans on a college career. It will also save time and money. A definite rhythm is necessary in typing just as in music. If this rhythm is achieved, adequate typing can be done with more ease and speed than writing. Countesy AvToMoatt sat Drivers’ Education Each year, Tech juniors look forward to taking the pre-driver course. They are taken out of gym for ap- proximately four weeks and given classroom instruction by the gym teachers on the rules of the road and mechan- ics of a car. Upon completing the four weeks of instruction, the student, provided he has passed the written examina- tion, is prepared for the road instruction given in the senior year under the excellent guidance of Chief Walmer, one of Springfield’s finest driving instructors. Mr. Walmer teaches the students the mechanics and routines of driving. When the student has become a proficient operator, state examiners give him the driving test. We have been fortunate in having the Automobile Sales Company loan us a car in which to learn. L to R, Claire Eldridge, Chief Walmer, Edward Sergel, Jean Zoller. 23 Custodians Left to right, 1st row: Mary Ferioli, Birdie L. Aiken, Nellie Connors. 2nd row: James Crowley, William McGee, Vernon Bigelow, D. A. Duncan, John Atherton, Francis Sears, Gerald McCarthy, Michael Kucio, Domenick Bianchi. Lunch Staff Do you detect those delicious aromas? They are coming from our very own lunch- room. Growing boys and girls like to eat, and this is satisfied by our superb cooking staff. Directing this excellent crew of cooks is Mrs. Elin Tillan. Her able helpers are Mrs. Ida Bolduc, Mrs. Goldie Deyo, Mrs. Margaret Elder, and Mrs. Josephine Saracino. These women are all well quali- fied and serve to us the best food in the city. But along with all of this good food comes a lot of book work. ‘There is located just off of the lunchroom, an office where very com- petent women work hard to keep all of the records for the Springfield school cafeterias straight. The director of these is Mrs. Mary C. Campbell. Her assistants are Mrs. M. Elizabeth Hood and Miss Phyllis Griffin. Others working in the office are Miss Lillian O’Conner, Mrs. Lena Lessarino, Mrs. Isebella Ouimet, Mrs. Mabel Davis, and Mrs. Alice Vail. Front row, left to right, Hilda McCombe, Goldie Deyo, Mildred Who keeps our school building in such won- derful condition? ‘Those hard-working cus- todians, of course. The man who heads this group is John Atherton, the head custodian. Junior custo- dians under him are James Crowly, David Duncan, William Lavallee, Gerald McCarthy, and Michael Kucio as a_ substitute. The firemen are Domenick Bianchi, Carl Persson, and Joseph B. Regis, with William McGee is a substitute. One of the most important people on the staff is Vernon Bigelow, our engineer. The women on the staff are Bridie Aiken, Nellie Conners, and Mary Ferioli. Most students think little, if at all, about the tremendous task it is to keep the building properly clean, to heat it adequately in cold weather, and to meet efficiently the emergencies that take place. When we do stop to think about this, we realize what a fine job our custodial] staff does. Hannigan, Josephine Seracino.

Now the spotlight is on the stars of this Command Performance, the Senior Class. Yes, finally the Class of °55 has reached top billing. It all started in September when the Seniors got their hats. Leading the proud class was Robert Maloney, President; Celeste Adams, Vice-President; Nelsie Young, Secretary; and Charles Frey, Treasurer. Then in November, the Senior informal, “March Militaire,” started off a chain of exciting events which lasted until June. On December 14, Tech’s football team defeated Cathedral High School to become Western Mass. Champs. Of course everyone was happy over this as 28 Seniors were members of the team. Meanwhile time was racing by. Already it was time for winter activities, and college boards. Everyone was going through the ordeal of writing the perfect letter of Application to the college of his choice. Plans for the Semiformal were made. The dance was held on April 22. A highlight in any senior year is the class banquet and this year’s was no exception. On May 10, the Seniors dined at the Highland Hotel and as is the cus- tom, the class ballot and prophecy were read. On May 27, the Seniors took their final bow. The Prom proved to be the most beautiful event of the whole year, and, as usual, it was a complete success. A Class Day filled with fun rounded out our final year. Then came that wonderful day, June 14th, the day we had been waiting for since the freshman year. Then suddenly, as the diplomas were handed to us, we real- ized that it was all over. 5S QD STIG Cost sein Room 101 First Row L to R— Roger Chamberlin, Paul Daley, Arthur Andrewes, Richard Checile, Lawrence Danti, Harvey Desilets, Raymond Catuogno, Dale Anderson, Bernard Choiniere, Gerard Caggiano.

The Junior Class got off to a good start under the able leadership of Allan Wolff as president, Beverly Luce as vice-president, Linda Rugani as secretary, and Kathy Wood as treasurer. The advisors who helped these officers are Miss Hilliker, chairman, Miss Friedman, Mr. Hansen, Mr. Henry, and Mr. Andrews, auditor. The first class meeting was held to call for articles for the Black Cat Fiesta. The first Junior dance was called the “‘Harvest Moon Ball”. With the help of the very willing students, this dance was a tremendous success. The much awaited Prom which came later was also a success.

Standing: Audrey Keating, Jude Berard. The class of 1957 got off to a rip-roaring start last October when they held elections for their freshmen class officers. After the scramble for offices was over, the dust had cleared, and the confusion of campaign speeches, putting up posters, and rushing to the polls was over, James DiSanti was elected president; Marsha Balaban, vice- president; Audrey Keating, secretary; and Jude Bernard, treasurer. Class advisors were Miss Miriam Whitte- more, chairman; Miss Dorothy Adams, Mr. Henry Wiatrowski, Mr. Richard Zahner, and Mr. Alphonse Jackowski, class auditor. This combination of advisors and officers proved to be very efficient and co-operative as they went to work planning their activities for the year.

The freshman contribution to the Black Cat Fiesta was a game of miniature bowling, which proved to be one of the big attractions. The freshmen again proved their worth during the Salvation Army drive when they topped the juniors and the seniors in contributions. In the early spring the freshmen held their dance which turned out to be a big success. Congratulations go to the class of 1957 for keeping the traditions which other classes before it have estab- lished . alee t— Si Left to Right, Standing: Mr. Jackowski, Miss Adams, Mr. Wiatrow- ski, Mr. Zahner.

As we turn to our school scribes, the Tech Tiger staff, we find that Co-Editors-in-Chief, Marion Mears and Deana Mote, and Senior Pictures Editor, Pat Aldrich, have been heartily assisted by thirteen hard-working staff members. Dick Robinson, Layout Editor, had charge of drawing up the plans for each page, while Karl Balland and Jim Holsing headed the Sports Department, aided by Sonny Tyson. Our busy Club Editor, Sally Healey, found time from her regular duties to paste pictures in the rapidly-growing dummy, while Jim Flowers added his weight to press them flat. Life on the Tiger staff is hectic but interesting. The typical staff member plans layouts, writes copy, identifies pictures, types copy to go to the printers, and makes himself generally useful. After rushing madly to meet the last deadline, the staff thanks Mr. Doane for direct- ing their activities, and Mr. Wilke for picture assistance. Miss Roy, Art Advisor, coached Art Co-Editors, Dee Mote and Dick Robinson, plus their assistants, in their artistic turnouts — car- toons, division pages, and cover. The Tech Tiger business staff, under Mr. Butler’s direction, turned up the ads to help finance the book. Skip Ehnstrom, Manager of the business staff, was assisted by Jim Monaghan in their work of seeing that ads were secured. Layout Manager Joan Miller had charge of the placement of the ads on the various pages, while Bob Newsome, head of Sales Distribution, took over the money from the ads and our orders for this yearbook. The file cards for the various ad contracts were made out by Sandra Murphy. The entire Tiger staff hopes that this book will give as much pleasure in the reading as it did in the making. 110 Standing, left to right, Mr. Henry Black, Nelson Pease, Sandra Shaw, Brooks Johnson, Nelsie Young, Robert Heath, Jerry Hellerman, Tom Schlesinger, William Lee, Mary Palosky, Helen George.

Because a school’s reputation is determined to a certain extent by its newspaper, Technical High School has a good reason to be proud of itself. The Tech News staff began its work while everyone else was still basking in the summer sun so that we would have a four page welcoming edition on the first day of school. Managing Editor, Thomas Rattigan, and Editor-in-Chief, Carolyn Morse, along with many other members of the staff can almost always be found puttering around the Tech News room or consulting Mr. Henry Black, the literary advisor, or, in any event, working hard to put out a praiseworthy edition of the paper every other week. The Tech News not only keeps up to the minute with present Techites and their activities, but also with the alumni. The “Sports Spotlight” is a new feature in the paper this year. In this column, Barbara Bacchiocci writes an account on each one of the most promi- nent athletes at Tech. Another very interesting feature is ““Who’s Who” written in a clever manner by Sandra Shaw, who gives brief histories of members of the senior class and their plans for the future. Last year the Tech News took several awards in the fields of poetry, feature stories, and general excellence. Arthur Lessing walked off with first and second prizes for poetry and first prize for his feature story. Barbara Dickey took second place for editorials. The Tech News was also awarded first prize for layout and honorable mention for general excellence. The News room recently underwent a face-lifting. Its walls were painted a pale green and the staff acquired new desks and bulletin boards. 111 Standing, left to right, Peggy Santaniello, Robert Harris, George Plumb, Thomas Schlesinger, Ronald Premo, Gerald Hellerman.

The beautiful Christmas assembly was the product of the multiplied efforts of the Girls’ Chorus, Chorale, Choralette, and above all, Mr. Crabtree. To remind us all of the solemn thoughts of the true meaning of Christmas, four well-written essays were read by their authors. Cheers for our football champs were roused during the athletic awards assembly when members of the varsity, junior varsity, and freshman teams received their letters. Applause came equally as loud for our varsity and junior varsity soccer teams whose members also received letters. Later this year in a special assembly held to Assembly honoring Mr. Wright congratulate our footba]] team, Dr. Sanders presented the team with bright orange jackets. The coaches were also each given a jacket, and to top off the pro- gram, Coach Peterson was presented a trophy to remind him always of the successful football season this year. On the President’s Safe Driving Day, Officer Murphy of the Springfield Police Department spoke to us on the growing necessity for everyone to be extremely careful while driving a car. He also showed us a film to illus- trate his point. At different intervals during the year, various assem- blies were held for each class. Most of these were routine to promote the sales of S.A. tickets, to ask for contributions for the Black Cat Fiesta, and to promote the general interest and support of the three classes.

One of the best ways in which a loyal Techite can show that he is proud of his school is to wear a Tech sweat shirt, wave a Tech banner, write with a Tech pencil, or put Tech bookcovers on his books. We are all lucky to be able to do these things. How? By buying our school supplies at the Tech Store, of course. The manager of the store, Gerry Bauerfiend, along with Linda Rugani and Janet Balland, spend their free time from 8:00 to 8:25 in the morning ready to serve us. In case you’ve never really looked around the store, you have a real treat coming. It’s amazing the number of differ- ent items you will find for sale there. The Tech Store is a Student Council project and is managed, for the most part, by members of this organization. A special salute to these students who have turned in such a fine per- Stu d ent C ouncil formance. An important factor in keeping any school running is the Student Council. Here at Tech, Tech Sto re the voice of the student body is heard through this organization. The members of the Student Coun- cil represent Tech in many ways. There are twenty-one members, seven from each class, headed by Robert Chase, president; Thomas a . Laurino, vice-president; Debby Schimmel, re- i ie cording secretary; and Celeste Adams, corre- mers. i sponding secretary. The council runs all class elections, the Tech Store, charity drives, and participates in many other activities. Working closely with their faculty advisor and _ friend, Miss Margaret Donovan, the members of the Student Council run their affairs efficiently and to the best advantage for everyone. ‘The activities of the Council are handled by four principal com- mittees. They are the legislative, publicity, activi- ties, and properties committees. Each year they elect an outstanding student to represent Tech in Boston on Student Government Day. This year Karl Balland was elected as our representative. Let’s all give these councilors a standing ovation for their achievements.

As chief of the Patrol, Gerry Bauerfeind did an excellent job, with Captains Gerry Mason and Ray Gotta, Lunchroom; Bill Lee, special assignments; Phil Maurice, Floors and Assem- blies; and Norm Gibson, Corridor Patrol, working with him. The Patrol, under the advisorship of Mr. Jackson, has 60 members, with 22 probation- ary members. Various assignments in school are under the direction of Student Patrol] Lieutenants. Lunch- room duties are under Dana Burke, Bill Fredette and Bob Keough; first, second, and third floors, and assemblies are under Harrison Weatherbee, Al Wolff, and Sonny Tyson; corridor patrol, Bob Maloney and Toy Lam; and Recorder, Gerry Hellerman. The Student Patrol is present for all school functions, working at games, Tantrums, Tech Turns, Fashion Show, and class dances. A word to the wise. Don’t berate the patrol boy who stops you when you don’t have a pass. He’s necessary to regulate school life. The S.A. Board takes the responsibility of spon- soring many school activities and projects. Many a student owes thanks to the Board for making his activity possible. The three classes, Tech Tiger, Tech News, G.A.A., and Student Council are a few of the organizations that have money allotted to them. Yet, with all of these, our S.A. fee is still the lowest in the city, $3.00, while we get more benefits than any other school. Such _ benefits as class dances and the Senior Banquet are free with S.A., which also offers reduced rates at games. Officers of the S.A. Board are Mr. Gifford, presi- dent; Mr. Hewitt, treasurer; and Deana Mote, Secretary. Also, there are student representatives from each sponsored activity, plus activity ad- visors and the three class presidents. Some of the purchases made by the S.A. Board this year will be long remembered. Among them were a racing shell for the rowing crew, and jackets for our victorious City and Western Mass. Football Champs. Student Patrol 115 Could it be that there are some at Tech who haven’t noticed the tremendous job that the stage crew does? Hardly, for these Techites, under the expert guidance of Charlie Winslow, have proved their outstanding capa- bilities time and time again. Besides handling the sound, lighting, and other preparations for all our assemblies and dances, this terrific crew has one ex- tremely hard assignment to fulfill, that of Tantrums. This crew consists of Lee Sanderson, Steve D’Angelo, William Anthes, Robert Focosi, Ray Koontz, Jerry Hellerman, Jerry Badger, Ruth DeFalco, Everett Hahn, Judith Foss, Sandra Terry, David Harcheid, Elaine Xides, Sally Johnson, and Agnes Scordino.

What would we do without our student lunch work- ers? They render us an invaluable service by helping our hard working adult lunchroom staff to keep every- thing running smoothly and efficiently. As you have undoubtedly noticed, there are several jobs being done by our student lunch workers, such as cashiering, selling milk, clearing, and dishwashing. Eighteen students are on the job taking care of these duties. Miss Lillian E. O’Conner, who is experienced and easy to get along with, is in charge of the student lunch workers. This staff consists of David Allen, Nancy Atkins, Helen Batchelor, Nancy Ciaschini, Sandra Cronk, Frances Farrick, David Hanson, Dawn Hardy, Peter Heenan, Rosalind Jackson, Robert Jennings, Roger LeClare, John Lynch, Margaret Moriarty, Margaret Pruefer, Janice Rowley, Patricia Sarrette, and Dorothy Young. aes ee = Xe a aS Se A 4 Soon te Student Office Helpers Left to right: Elizabeth Designeault, Cynthia Colton, Nancy Wainwright, Eleanor Ritzmann, Carol Rogalsy, Helen Wheatley, Judy Pinney, Claudette Francis, Normand Blouin, Joan Culverhouse, Annette Jolicoer, Anne Buckley, Manfred Kober, Karen Oliver, Joan Voelker, Nancy Bassett, Gertrude Gourley, Michael Begley The office staff at Tech is fortunate in having twenty- seven capable students who have volunteered to help them and the counselors. The main job of these students is to run errands and bring passes to different rooms. ‘Their duties consist of filing, changing pro- gram cards, and delivering absentee bulletins to every teacher. ‘This year a committee was formed to decide upon an insignia which would be worn by student office helpers. ‘The committee decided upon a Tech pin with a black ribbon. This is the first year that an insignia has been worn by these students. Mr. Jackson and Mr. Lynch have spoken to the students at one of their meetings, outlining the duties and responsibilities of the student office help. 117 A modern trend in education is achieved by the Visual Aids Club. This important service club of the school is operated under the direction of Mr. Henry. Visual Aids consists of fourteen boys and one girl who are willing to give up their studies each day in order to show films and slides or run tape recorders. ‘The mem- bers of this club are familiar with all the visual aids equipment at Tech and are able to operate it all. Each period finds two students on the job either running a machine or repairing the films and equipment. The movies shown at the assemblies are operated by these students. On an average the Visual Aids Club shows about thirty films a week.

Helping the nurse in these experiences is a nurse’s aide. ‘The nurse’s aides duties range from cleaning medicine trays, to taking temperatures, to fixing minor wounds, to keeping the nurse’s records in crder, to filing and typing. Barbara Rice is our only aide this year but this position can give experience to many other girls wishing the opportunity to learn more about nursing.

RED CROSS The Red Cross Council was certainly busy this year. Among the superior leadership were Nelsie Young, president; Joe Snyder, vice-president; Joyce Ryan, secretary; Bev Hathaway, corresponding secretary; and Don Fields, Treasurer. On the past year’s schedule was a convention held in Springfield, their annual enrollment drive, and the annual Varsity-Alumni basketball game. The club also helped put on a show at Westover, started raising money for a chest, and packed Christmas stockings for oversea’s children. This club is the only service club at Tech designed solely to help others. — Thomas Sword, Joyce Joe Snyder SENIOR PRO MERITO 118 JUNIORS PRO MERITO Upon entering Tech any student can look forward to a membership in the Pro Merito Honor Society. Each year the freshmen eagerly await the March meeting of Pro Merito when those who have kept their marks up to a certain level are inducted. At this meeting the officers for the year are also chosen. This year Karl Balland was president. Although this honor society is open to all Techites, it takes effort to achieve membership. It is well worth the work it takes to become a member of this association, however. Pro Merito students are granted certain privileges that are not extended to the other students. A helpful aid to these students is an extra set of books to be kept at home so that they need not be carried back and forth every day. Another privilege offered to Pro Merito students is their identification card which enables FRESHMEN 119 them to leave a study hall to go to the library for refer- ence material, or they may leave school early if their last class is a study. A three-year membership in the Pro Merito Society is a goal worth working for. To be a _ three-year honor student is a mark of distinction which goes to a small percentage of the graduating class at Technical High School each year. Along with its being a fine achievement, for a high school student, a three-year membership in Pro Merito is a great help toward a col- lege future. Scholarships are plentiful for students in these brackets. Even though a college diploma is not included in everyone’s plans, his Pro Merito record stands him in good stead for whatever field he enters. Tech is proud of its Pro Merito program and the fine group of students who belong to it.

One of our most popular clubs at Tech is the Dramatic Club, whose sixty members en- tertain us at several school functions, such as assemblies. Tech Tantrums provided another opportunity for this club’s members to demonstrate their abilities in acting and speaking. Much of the script writing for Tantrums was done by the Dramatic Club. This year, Mr. C. C. Hanni- gan, the director, had an idea to inspire his future actors and actresses by having them direct and produce their own one- act plays. To further stimu- z Choralette, a group _ selected through auditions from the student body, consists of sixteen mixed voices and Judy Foss, the pianist. Choralette is led by Mr. Crabtree. They sing at special programs such as Tantrums, Tech Turns, Western Massachusetts Music Festi- val, and for various church and religious organizations. The Cho- ralette carolled in the halls at Christ- q mas. This year they also sang over television at a convention program in Boston. Next to the band, Cho- ralette is the most active club be- © sides being one of the biggest ad- vertising agents of the school. L to R, around table, Tom Rattigan, Bruce Dickinson, Mr. Newhall, Bob Branconnier, Irv Phillips, Barry Col- lins. Under the guidance of Mr. Fales Newhall, the fifteen mem- bers of Tech’s Chess Club meet to compete in this oldest of all games. It doesn’t matter whether you know how to play chess or not, all are welcome. Experienced members get a chance to improve their skill so they will be better prepared to play in the important matches. The members have elected Tom Rattigan, President; Barry Collins, Vice-President; and Carl Morey, Secretary-Treasurer. The two biggest events of the year are the spring and winter tournaments. Besides the honor of winning one of the cham- pionship contests, the winner also receives valuable prizes. Over the years, the Chess Club has been a favorite on our extra-curricular activities schedule. 120 L to R, Barbara Sampson, Bev Luce, Jan Rowley, Nancy Auld, Gail Yarsley, Mary Lind, Robert Hedin, Wesley Turner, James Stewart, Judy George, Joan Culverhouse, Mr. Han- nigan, Gerry Hellerman, Linda Hocker, Tony Pietronaro, Marsha Balaban, Joan Brown, Dick Fewkes, Deanna Mote, JoAnn Shaw, Bill Frank, Eleanor Vona, Dick Robinson, Linda Rugani. late their interest, he suggested having a contest whereby mem- bers of four different casts would compete against each other to see which one was the best. Our very competent officers this year are Gerry Hellerman, president; Pat Conant, vice- president; Joyce Ryan, secre- tary; and Mike Visconti, treasurer.

This year we had a fine group of capable officers who planned the activities of the G.A.A. They were Susan Northrup, president; Sandra Thompson, vice-president; Linda Rugani, secretary; and Barbara Sampson, treasurer. Included in this year’s pro- gram were the only all-school dance, Play-Days, and a fare- well picnic. Every Tuesday night you can see the young girls hurrying to get to the “Y” on time. That would be the girls from Nisi- maha, a girls’ Christian organization. This group consists of some twenty girls from the different high schools. The officers from Tech are Marion Mullane, vice-president; Beverly Luce, secretary; Linda Rugani, treasurer; and Carolyn Sampson, activity chairman. A few of the activities this past year were a ski week-end in snowy New Hampshire, an Italian spaghetti dinner, made by themselves, a hidden order hike, and two informal parties. Also they have had a Wave from the recruiting station, and a hair specialist from Frank and Tito’s come to speak to them. 121 CLUBS Every Thursday afternoon the rifle range at Trade High School reverberates with the shots of Tech’s crack sharp- shooters. ‘The thirty-one members, including four girls, meet under the advisorship of Mr. Stan Sprague, and practice target shooting. ‘This year, Tech did not have a rifle team although matches were held with other high school rifle clubs. In the beginning of the year, Mr. Sprague gave the re- quirements to the prospective members. Two of these in- structions were that each member must furnish his own rifle, and all rifles must be equipped with target sights. [The most popular gun in the club is the 22 rifle. The most outstanding shots this year were Bill Fredette and Jon Goff. Although the Club does not go hunting, it does teach its members the care and safe handling of firearms.

Discussions of vital problems concerning teen-agers, college, careers, and improvements in the school were an essential part of Hi-Y meetings.

Approximately thirty boys attempted to figure out physics experiments, construct equipment, and work on their own pet projects. The Physics Club contributed valuable assistance both to the school and outside organizations by its repairing of scientific equipment and its demonstrations. One reason for the Techni- cade’s success was the co-operation of the boys of this club who contributed many exhibits, adding much interest in this demon- stration of scientific developments. Much valuable experience is gained by the participants of our Physics Club. 122 Midway Scene On December 3, the usually quiet boys’ gym was magically changed into a teeming midway. The throng of students, teachers, and parents had come to the third annual] BJack Cat Fiesta. This year the Fiesta was under the direction of David H. Reid, but practi- cally everyone had a hand in the fun-making. With the help of several new ideas the Fiesta was a complete success. Some of the added attractions were the door prizes and the side show. The old favorites were the teacher’s retalliation booth, the auc- tion, and the dart-throwing. Not only did this prove to be an enjoyable evening for all, but the Tech Parent-Teacher Association became 650 dollars richer. The money will be spent for a student handbook to be given to all students at Tech in the fall. The remaining money will be divided into scholarships for worthy seniors.

TECH Each year many of the faculty and student body at Tech reserve much of their time and energy for the annual presentation of Tech Tantrums. ‘Tantrums, the most supercolossal production that Tech attempts, is a variety show which displays to the best advantage the many wondrous and varied talents of its participants. The 1955 presentation proved to be no exception to the rule. Tech Tantrums XII, under the expert supervision of Mr. Jackson, was memorable entertainment devoted to a highly original theme, an histerical history of the Si Left to right; Front Row: Debby Schimmel, Mary Lou Burgess, movies. ‘This theme was represented by scenes from Barbara Brandoli, Theodora Shropshire.

These appropriate scenes were fol- lowed up by scenes representing the modern trend in the cinema, colossally overproduced productions in three dimensions and wide screen. Still a new screen process was unveiled to the audience for the first time, cineram- ascoop. All this virtuosity did not come about by any mere stroke of good fortune. It was through the hard- working effort and co-operation of every teacher, ad- visor, and pupil that the show became a sellout success. In the fall of 1954 some of the faculty met and decided on the theme. All students who wished to be part of the program auditioned. ‘There were singers, dancers, Dopey meets Snow White acrobats, and pantomimists, some good, some bad. Those that met the eyes of the teacher-judges as being distinctive and well-presented were chosen to have an actin the show. Separate acts were assigned to different teachers. The topic of each act was decided upon. Mr. Crabtree, in charge of musical direction, also took charge of a sequence as did Mr. Hannigan, Mr. Ro- mano, Mr. Curran, and Mrs. Brazeau. These teachers worked diligently with their casts so as to have a good presentation. ‘Those who were not on stage during the performance helped out in various ways by making signs, posters, and stage sets, working the spotlights, stage lights, curtain, and moving props. ‘The acts were primed, and all the participants readied for the opening curtain on the big night with the result: success. Finale of the ‘‘Hysterical History of the Motion Picture!’ Girls’ Chorus For all music-lovers at Tech, Tech Turns was one of - the biggest successes of the year. Led by the very remarkable and capable “‘Mr. C’’, the five groups gave forth with the most beautiful harmony that has been heard at Tech for a long time.

The last ‘Technicade was held March sixteenth and seventeenth of 1951. This year’s Technicade was held in conjunction with the Tech Science Fair. The Science Fair is the first one held at Tech. The purpose of holding the Science Fair and the Technicade together was to provide a local contest to comply with the rules of the Massachusetts Science Fair. To enter a demonstration in the Massachusetts Science Fair, an applicant must have displayed his exhibit in a local science show. The projects of the Technicade are limited to the enrolled students of Tech High, ninth grade classes of schools that plan to send their students to Tech, and college students who are graduates of Tech. The projects are classified in three divisions: the Senior Section for regularly enrolled Tech students; the Ninth Grade Section for junior high ninth graders; and the Junior Section for seventh and eighth graders. Many local companies such as Westinghouse and Gen- eral Electric also had displays. Because of the high standards set for the students the projects were rated on this basis: scientific approach to problem — 40 points, advancement in science -of con- testant — 20 points, ingenuity of construction, technical skill and workmanship — 20 points, and thoroughness — 20 points. All of the students of the Technicade were in some way associated with Tech. Most of the work was done by our 130 TECHNICADE Left to right; Robert Anderson, Sally Johnson, Mr. Case Left to right; Bob Anderson, Bob Hedin, Dave Salmond, Harvey Plaus ‘pecleeied SCI EN CE FAI R own students with advisory help from the teachers.

They represent the Science Fair Committee who co- ordinated and produced this Technicade. The Technicade was held Friday night, April 15, and Saturday afternoon, April 16. Both the Science Fair and the Technicade were held in the library and the Gym. Several members of the Technicade including the two first prize winners wil] enter the Massachusetts Science Fair. ‘Twelve exhibits will be chosen from the demon- strations of schools all over Massachusetts. These twelve will then go to the Annual New England Science Fair. ‘This fair is to be held at a later date at Bridge- port, Connecticut. The Massachusetts Fair is to be held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is being held under the sponsorship of M.I.T. and the Boston Globe. These competitions are open only to the senior section. The subjects of the exhibitions are many, including almost anything that has to do with science, from calculating the weight of an electron to extracting magnesium from seawater. Also included in this year’s Technicade were many demonstrations from the industrial arts department, even a drill that cuts square holes.

Best of all, though, the Tigers were to be again guided by three of the finest coaches in the area: Russ Peterson, Joe Ambrose, and Bob Pasini. Fitchburg, an Eastern Massachusetts threat, gave Tech’s season a happy sendoff. In a game confined to the ground because of a steady rain, Tech ground out a thirteen-zero victory. Hartford Public, perennial City Champion, was initiated into its new season by being on the short end of a twenty-seven to six score. Tech’s first real test of the young season was West Springfield. The ‘Terriers, after two straight upset wins, were favored over Tech. Once again, however, the Tigers rolled to a twenty to six win. Agawam became the next victim of the Tigers, as Tech came up with a fourteen to seven verdict in a hard fought battle Bob Chase Dick Tavernier snares one against West Springfield.

With less than four minutes to play, Chet scored his second touchdown of the day against previously un- scored-upon Holyoke, as Tech got a _ well-deserved thirteen to seven win. The Tiger ground game really proved its value as Tech gained three hundred and fifty yards on the ground to halt a stubborn Westfield team nineteen to seven in a rain-soaked battle. In the schoolboy “‘Game of the Year”’, Tech placed its undefeated record in jeopardy when it met a strong Chicopee team. ‘The teams played a bitter dog-eat- dog contest, but a desperation pass by Chicopee in the final two minutes gave them a twenty-one to twenty win. In the final game of the year, victory meant both the City Championship and Tech’s first Western Massa- Dick Tavernier gains against West Springfield i eee? ae or ty the Fitchburg Line. chusetts Championship since 1941, and victory it was, as the Tigers rolled up their biggest score of the year to smash arch-rival Cathedral thirty-three to thirteen. The final touch to a great year came when Chet Boulris, Mimi Cava, Dick Osinski, and Art Fournier received All-City and All-Western Massachusetts rat- ings. It’s known, however, that it takes eleven men to make a team and credit must go also to linemen Bob Jablonski, Dick Quill, Bill Sitnik, Dick Russell, Al Belniak, Jack Rickson, Jim Holsing, Dick Tenczar, Bill Igoe and Charlie Choquette, along with backs Bob Klett, Dick Tavernier, Bob Chase, Bob Tarozzi, Fred Guyer, Dave Munsell, and Jim McGovern for fine work all season. Rounding out the varsity were Ralph Brown, Bob Lynch, Al Ottani, Joe Ferri, Al Beardsdell, Bob Mac- _ carini, Bob Newsome, Jack Jebb, Joe Yanovak, Doug Kaplinger, Dave Spencer, Jim Noonan, Bill Chaisson, Pete Desiderias, Bob Hubbard, Dan Ballardini, Larry McKenna, Neil Leveilee, Gene Lucia, Al Wolfe, Gerry O’Keefe and Norm Whipple. ss Chet Boulris (52) is led by Ralph Brown (25) through Coach Russ Peterson receiving a free ride from jubilant team members following the Cathedral game. This was a team which, in practice or a game, fought its hardest throughout. This was supported by Mr. Peterson’s statement, ““The coaches were very pleased with the wonderful team spirit which prevailed through- out the year. Every boy gave out with 100% effort.”’ Another tribute was given to this hustle by Mr. Gifford after the Chicopee game, ‘““They scored one more point than we did, but they didn’t beat us.” CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS CHAMPIONS TECH OPPONENT 13 Fitchburg 0 Zi Hartford Public 6 20 West Springfield 6 14 Agawam 7 13 Holyoke 7 19 Westfield 7 20 Chicopee 33 Cathedral ia Worse r ess sige Captain Chet Boulris during victory parade. 133 Basketball Tech Basketball squad cheering for one of our many baskets. December 10, 1954, was the big day for Tech students. After a successful fall sports schedule, hopes for con- tinued victory were placed with the basketball team. Lockwood, Rhode Island came up with a strong team and received a hearty welcome as the Tigers scored fourteen straight points in the third period to pave the way for a 69-54 opening win. The big three, Al Bel- niak, Al Byrne, and Bob Maloney led the scoring. Predictions of things to come were given the next night as defending State Champions, Cathedral, barely nosed out the Tigers by a slim 28-25 count in the Jamboree. Salem was the second victim of the aroused Tigers by a 68-65 score. 4 Bob Chase with the ball going on to score. Bob Maloney of Tech to the extreme left looks on. In the first Interschool League game, favored Trade had to resort to an 18 point streak in the final quarter to gain a 65-64 win over Tech. After the Christmas vacation, Bill Lawler’s boys paid no heed to the temperature outside as they got hot during January. The first month of the year brought Tech first place in the Interschool League as they swept by league foes Commerce, Classical, and Cathedral, along with independent powers Holyoke, Westfield, and New London, Connecticut. The Commerce game found a new name on the list of high scorers as Chuck Frey took scoring honors. In the Cathedral game, Cathedral was handed its first league defeat in three years as the Tigers gained a hard fought 42-36 win.

February started on a sad note as Trade handed Tech its second Joss of the year by a 65-60 count. Undaunted, the Bengals added highly regarded Mount Pleasant, New York to their list of conquests. Commerce, Classical, and Cathedral also fell for the second time during this streak. ‘The victory over Cathedral ended the Panthers’ two year domination of the Interschool league, and gave Tech a tie with Trade for the City Championship. It wasn’t easy however, as the game went into 2 overtimes before the Tigers took a 59-57 win in the most exciting game of the year. Tournament bound Greenfield provided plenty of excitement as they shaded Tech in overtime by a record breaking 101-95 score. Due to their fine record, the Bengals gained a berth in the regional qualifications for the Western Massa- Ernie Frazier rebounding against Trade while Bob Maloney looks on. chusetts Tournament. Led by Al Byrne, Al Belniak, and Bob Maloney, the Tigers gained the finals with a 58-43 win over West Springfield. This, however, was the end of the trail. The long, pressure-packed season was proving too much for the Bengal starters and a game group of reserves could not take up the slack. Cathedral gained revenge for its two previous losses to the Tigers by taking a 56-43 victory. Bob Maloney, Al Byrne, Al Belniak, Chuck Frey, Ralph Brown, Bob Chase, Dick Tavernier, Dick Russell, John Wright, Dick Swenor, Ted Hall, Wilbur Murray, and managers Jim Noonan and Felix Yacavone are to be congratulated for a fine record of 13 wins and 4 losses and most important of all, the City Champion- ship.

The Technical High baseball team under the coach- ing of John Kalloch, went over the .500 mark this year with an eight and seven record. Tech was fortunate in having many starters left from the previous season. In the opening game Tech looked good, but lost to Classical, due to the strong pitching of Dave Klein. A two-run double by Ronnie Stearns in the eighth, along with other hits, almost pulled out a victory for the Tigers. 136 BASEBALL In Tech’s next ten games the Tigers broke even, winning over ‘Trade, Orange, Commerce, Holyoke, and losing to Classical, Chicopee, and Cathedral. The big game for the Tigers came when they tried to hold Cathedral from winning the Interschool League Cham- pionship. Because of a few errors and five hits, Cathe- dral got seven runs in the fifth inning, and Tech never seemed to get back its punch. In the remaining three games Tech looked strong, winning all three.

City champions after a four year Classical supremacy! We Techites can be proud of our many accomplish- ments and honors, and among these the Tech soccer team rates high. The team had a commendable season posting a winning record of 9-2-1. With Mr. John Kalloch at the helm, our booters won the Inter- school Soccer League championship for the first time in four years. By compiling a record of six wins, one loss, and one tie in the Interschool League, the Tigers pre- vented Classical from winning their fourth straight championship. Besides the competition within the city, Tech also encountered a strong West Springfield High School team and a powerful Ludlow combine. Our _ boys did very well in these contests. They took the measure of Ludlow High by respective scores of 1-0 and 3-1; and also, they posted a 1-0 defeat on West Springfield, another strong unit. Left, Byrne, No. 12, Gavin. Tech showed remarkable playing skill during the season; and thus, they were invited to participate in the Western Massachusetts Invitational Soccer Tournament held at the University of Massachusetts. The Tigers met with some unusual circumstances in their first game which was lost to Monson High by a score of 6-3. This score in no way applies to the type of game played on that fateful day of elimination. At the end of regulation time, the score was tied at 0-0, which led to two three-minute overtime periods. The score stil] remained the same and it was deemed necessary to kick penalty kicks. Each team alternately kicked five penalty shots. ‘The outcome resulted in a 2-2 deadlock. By this time darkness had fallen and the field was covered with a dark gloom. However, the game went on with each team again taking five penalty kicks.

The Tech High swimming team won its ninth Western Massachusetts Championship this year. Tech started in 1944, and had won eight consecutive titles ending in 1951. The tournament resumed this year after a four- year lapse, and Tech came off with the winning score. This year, losing only to Williston Academy, which broke two national prep-school records in the meet, Tech out-swam all other teams. Milt Orcutt’s coach- ing was shown in the team’s 6-1 record. ‘The team came in second in the Massachusetts State Championship by getting 2314 points. Tech’s best performance was made by its 200-yard freestyle relay quartet which won in the good time of 1:49. Swimming in the quartet were Settle, Knight, Mitchell, and Babineau. Tech also Dick Rivers in jacknife dive. came in second in the 150-yard medley relay, the 100- yard backstroke, second in the 100-yard freestyle, fourth in the 50-yard freestyle, and third in the diving.

This tournament is the old Western Massachusetts Championship. ‘The teams who participated in it were Tech, Trade, Classical, and Holyoke High. ‘Tech registered 41 points including five firsts, to walk away with the championship. First place winners of Tech were Ben Knight, who swam the 40-yard freestyle in the good time of 19:6; Bill Settle, who took the 100-yard freestyle; and Dick Rivers, diving.

BOWLING Tech High Bowlers failed this year to gain permanent possession of the Interscholastic League Bowling Trophy. After winning the championship for two consecutive years, Tech lost to Trade High Schoo] in a playoff, thus losing annexation of the cherished award. The Tigers fought to maintain their domination of the league, but a determined Beaver team, which was edged out Jast year, proved too superior for our boys. ‘The race was close all season with Tech winning first round honors, and Trade gaining second round glory. William Butler and Richard Breault each maintained an average of one hundred plus for the season. Recognition should also be given to ‘‘Mimi” Cava, Richard Engleman, William Grady, James Holsing, Manager William Sitnik, and Coach Peterson. 143 The Technical High Schoo] faculty ajso takes an active part in this popular indoor sport. ‘[wenty-three male members represented Tech in the Schoolmasters’ League. The teachers ‘claim they bow] merely for recreation, but many of them have become keen com- petitors. Currently, the Tigers, comprised of Mr. Northrup, Mr. Loiko, Mr. Ziemba, and Mr. Jackow- ski, are bowling in the top division. Other members of the male participaters are Mr. Hewitt, Mr. Sprague, Mr. Lawler, Mr. Case, Mr. Black, Mr. Henry, Mr. Curran, Mr. Reed, Mr. Wiatrowski, Mr. Snow, Mr. O’Keefe, Mr. Trespas, Mr. Moyle, Dr. Candon, Mr. Holley, Mr. Zahner, Mr. Chase, Mr. Dunn, and Mr. Bowler composing four teams, the T.N.T.’s, Cubs, Technics, and Bengals. Peter Aninger winning the pole-vault against Trade. Once again, in 1954, the Tech track team had an outstanding season. Coached by Milt Orcutt and Russ Peterson, the team maintained Tech’s high Western Massachusetts rating. The Tiger harriers opened in high gear as they rolled by West Springfield, Cathedral, Classical, Chicopee, Trade, and Drury in preparation for the City and Western Massachusetts Championships. The Tigers entered the City meet as a slight favorite and, true to predictions, won the meet by six points over second place Trade. Depth told the story in this meet as Tech took eighteen places for forty-nine points. Leading the Tiger attack were Bob Chase, hurdles winner; Don Freeman, mile winner; and Jim Holsing, who won both the shot put and the discus throw. Next, Pittsfield gave Tech a preview of things to come as they handed Tech its second dual meet loss in seven years. True to form, in the Western Massachusetts Cham- pionships, Pittsfield scored thirty-one points to win, with Greenfield just getting by Tech for second by a twenty- TRACK SCHEDULE Tech Opponent 38 Wilbraham Academy 49 Monson Academy 21 62 West Springfield an 74 Cathedral 16 70 Classical 40 Chicopee ZA 66 Trade 41 ey Drury 38 1st City Championships = 28 Pittsfield +h) 3rd Western Mass.

Tech’s only winner in this meet was Jim Holsing in the discus, although Bob Chase broke the Western Massachusetts record in a losing effort in the hurdles. In the mile, our runners, Don Freeman and Paul Whitlock, finished second and third respectively. Ralph Brown took third in the hurdles, and Jim Holsing third in the shot put. Also entering the select scorer’s column were Dave Leslie and Phil Koetsch.

Led by Ronnie Mattson who won low total strokes, the team had little difficulty in defending its title. During the season, Tech did very well, winning thirteen victories and dropping only one to the Dartmouth freshman team. Outstanding seniors on the team were Jim Grochmal, Joe Megliola, Buckey O’Brien, and John Hunt. Mr. Johnson, the coach, is fortunate in having Ronnie Mattson, Harry Mattson, Art Malm- strom, and Irving Pierce again this year. Tech rolled up the amazing number of 20914 points to their op- ponent’s 271% points. The team played most of its matches at Memorial and Franconia golf courses. Next year Tech is looking forward to a successful year and puts its hopes on the returning veterans who have done so well the last two years.

With hockey sticks, ankle guards, a sack of balls, and other equipment, Tech girls can be seen trudging up State Street hill to the Armory grounds. In the fall, Field Hocky be- comes a favorite way to keep spirits high and bodies warm in chilly weather. At the field hockey play day, Tech girls gave tough competition against the other city high schools. Several indoor activities are to be had in the winter months. Apparatus, with mat-covered floors, horses, bucks, boom, rings, and ropes, gives plenty of opportunity to become skill- fu] in the mastering of these obstacles. Volleyball, with nets strung across the gym, contributes to many an exciting, breath- taking game. Basketball, stunts, ping-pong and badminton, round out the winter sports program.

Tantrums for everyone to enjoy. For pure pleasure or for betterment of scores, bowling is very popular. Tech’s mermaids have a wonderful time splashing around at the Boys’ Club pool; skating at the Coliseum in the winter is popular. When spring time rolls around, softball and tennis, the fina] sports of the year, are played with great enthusiasm. Girls participating in all these out- side activities, as well as the after-school sports, are awarded a number of credits towards the T.H.S. and the highest award, the G.A.A. pin, given by the officers of the associa- tion. Pre-drivers’ education, the theory part of driving, and driv- ers’ education, the actual handling of the car, are offered at ' Tech. The retiring supervisor, Chief Walmer, and the new instructor, Mr. Burr, have contributed much to the success of our student drivers. Action shot playing volleyball.
