Gifford, our hard working principal, and Mr. Belding F. Jackson and Mr. Melvin A. Lynch, our kind and help- ful assistant principals. No one works any harder than Mr Gifford. He's in charge of everything from arranging progams to filling out college applications for hopeful seniors. Mr. Gifford is very interested in all Tech activities and can usually be found at any Tech game, cheering one of our teams on to victory. Mr. Jackson supervises dances and other school functions in- cluding Tech News releases. He also investigates truancies and sponsors Student Patrol and Tantrums. Mr. Lynch has the job of visiting all the junior high schools to tell the ninth grade students about Tech. He also assists with Technicade, investigates tardiness, and handles discipline. Mr. Lynch Mr. Jackson T™PH4n MOZPo-CHoH Tech has four capable office assistants. They are Miss Gil- wech, Miss King, Mrs. Angers, and Mrs. Garvey. The head of the office staff is Miss Gilwech. Mrs. Garvey is the new as- sistant to Mr. Jackson, while Mrs. Angers assists Mr. Gifford. These assistants work together to make the office function with great efficiency. Left to Right: Mrs. Garvey, Mrs. Angers, Miss Gilwech, Miss King Left to Right: Mr. McMahon, Dr. Theinert, Miss Whittemore, Mr. Reid. We are very fortunate to have a guidance staff as well quali- fied as ours. The purpose of this staff is to help the students with their school work, to find jobs for them, and to smooth out any difficulties that they may have. It is composed of Mr. Lynch, who is the director; Mr. McMahon, Mr. Reid, 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 have had much experience in dealing with stu- dents. Both have their Masters’ Degrees and have taught science previous to their work as guidance counselors. Miss Whittemore and Barabara Parker. LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Szetela, Miss Solon, Mrs. Leone, Miss Mastrangelo, Miss Austin, Mr. Lague. Each fall Techites look forward to discovering not only what’s new but also who’s new here at Tech. This year six newcomers joined the faculty to replace teachers who had retired or taken leaves. Miss Aglaia Solon, art instructor, replaced Miss Helen Nortr- gard, who was unable to teach this year. Miss Solon studied at the Worcester Museum School of Art and Yale-Norfolk Art School prior to teaching at the George Walter Vincent Smith Museum. She has worked as a free-lance commercial artist. Miss Eleanor Mastrangelo took the place of Mrs. Elizabeth Sambor as a teacher of home economics. Miss Mastrangelo was a three-year honor student at Tech and a graduate of Framing- ham Teachers’ College. She has taught at South Hadley High and Forest Park Junior High Schools. Mr. Euclid Lague, teacher of modern languages, replaced Miss Elsa Jaede, who retired last June. Mr. Lague graduated from Rhode Island College, and received his Master’s degree at Mid- dlebury College. He has taught at Forest Park Junior High and Classical High Schools. NEW TEACHERS Miss Nancy Austin replaced Mr. Gerald Wilke of the For- eign Language Department, who is on a fellowship leave in Europe. Miss Austin graduated from Mount Holyoke and ob- tained her Master's degree at Harvard through a scholarship prior to teaching at Palmer High. Mr. Walter Szetela, mathematics instructor, replaced Mr. George Andrewes, who is on sabbatical leave at the University of Mas- sachusetts. Mr. Szetela graduated from the University of Mas- sachusetts. He taught at Great Barrington and at Willsboro, New York, before coming to Tech. Our sixth newcomer, Miss Catherine Leone, handles special work for girls. Miss Leone is a graduate of the College of New Rochelle where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree. Miss Leone formerly taught at New Rochelle Junior College and in the Enfield School System. THE woRED Mr. Newhall, Miss McCarthy, Miss Austin, Mr. Lague. It is not possible to walk down the second floor corridor of the Elliot Street Building without going by a French, German, or Spanish room. The teachers who preside in these Modern Language rooms are Miss McCarthy, Miss Ann M. Austin, Mr. Euclid Lague, and Mr. Fales Newhall, the head of the Modern Language Department. Both Miss Austin and Mr. Lague are new here at Tech this year. Modern Languages are helpful to today’s student whether he goes into teaching, foreign relations, science, or the Army. Perhaps someday there will be one universal language; but until that day, we will have to be content with trying to learn the other person’s way of speech.

We are fortunate to have outstanding teachers in that field who make our classes interesting. Contrary to the thoughts of some Techites, English 1s a subject well worth taking. When we think of what our knowledge of English will mean to us in the future years, we readily give the English department and its teachers our thanks for a job well done. The Tech Library becomes a place of refuge for all Techites when themes, and pleasant place. FIRST ROW: Jo Ann Stearns. SECOND ROW: pe Ler sardo, Mary Conway.

The curriculum of this year’s Science Department is both vari- ed and interesting. Here, in this school, science is one of the most heavily stressed subjects. College Preparatory boys are re- quired to have two years of Physics, a year of Chemistry and, if possible, a year of Electronics. Only fifty per cent of all high schools even offer these courses. To meet these standards, Tech has an excellent scienc staff. Upon entering Tech, the freshman physics student will in- variably be taught by Mr. Case. Awaiting him is a vast store of knowledge of Navy life as well as information about forces and motion. If, on the other hand, the student is interested in biology, it is very possible that he will be under the direction of Miss Barton or Mr. Curran. In the student’s junior year, it is possible that he will have a course in Chemistry. If he does not have this course in his yunior year he will have to take it in his last year. In either case he will have the guidance of such teachers as Mr. Northrup, Miss Martin, Mr. Romano, or Mr. Curran. This is the staff that works many hours to drill the knowledge of atoms and molecules into our heads. Joan Voelker, Delores Twarog, Ron Robi- taille, Jim Stassen.

It has increased from about twenty students of last year to over one hundred and twenty students this year. Many other subjects such as Science Survey, Physiography, and Physiology are offered to the students as a part of the science program. Advanced Physics is about the only subject solely for the Sen- iors and is for most people the toughest. Mr. Allen, also the department head and Mr. Snow are present to help those who struggled through this subject. This year the Science Department may be congratulated for an excellent job.

As you’ve passed through the corridors, you may have looked into a room and have seen boys busily working over drawing boards. As you must know, they are studying me- chanical drawing. Tech provides its students with one of the best mechanical drawing pro- grams in the country. This is a result of having such excellent teachers as Mr. Biscaldi, Mr. Duffin, Mr. Loiko, and Mr. Lennon. In these classes we learn how to construct views of three-dimensional objects. We learn how to use the T-square, triangles, dividers, French curves, and other equipment. We are taught projection and isometric drawing, using machine parts as models most of the time. A course in architectural or machine drawing is available to senior boys. Here stu- dents are taught how to design buildings or parts of machines. This year Tech made an improvement in the drawing department. We purchased a printing and developing machine which can print and develop a blueprint in less than a minute. You can see that we here at Tech have a mechanical drawing program of which we can be proud. BACK: Mr. Moyle, Mr. Hewitt, Mr. Sprague, Mr. Jackowski, Mr. Szetella.

If you do, the math department sure can find some for you to stare at. For many years, Tech has ranked very highly for its excellent math department. To accomplish this record, there has to be someone behind it. Headed by Mr. Woodworth, the staff includes Miss Allen, Dr. Theinert, Miss Kelley, Mr. Bushey, Mr. Sprague, Mr. Moyle, and a new member to the faculty, Mr. Szetela. These well qualified and capable leaders try to drill into our heads the basic math upon which much of our future depends. This year, Tech has omitted the general course. This leaves only two courses from which a student may choose. The College Preparatory and Technical courses offer elementary algebra, plane ge- ometry, intermediate algebra and for the seniors, a course in trigonometry and _ solid geometry. The College Preparatory seniors are offered a choice between calculus and basic analytical geometry. From this, one could well say that a Tech graduate Must have plenty of math when he graduates. €.

The aim now is to modernize the foods classes. New equip- ment added to this department this year includes a new freezer, and new glassware to aid serving classes. In the laundry, a new electric washer and dryer help to make necessary tasks ey more pleasant. 4 G « Ss ‘ij Left to Right: Joseph Guertin, Milton White, Elizabeth La Motte, Evelyn Markowski, John Donaldson, Elaine Xides, Vivian Begin, Brenda Leslie Miss Roy, Miss Solon A RT SEATED, Left to Right: Sherry Long, Mary Palosky, Frances Ferrick, Peg Pfuefer.

The art courses at Tech are devised to give students the basic fundamentals of good design, balance, and color scheme. Courses are offered in design, interior decorating, poster making, crafts, and free-hand drawing under the direction of Miss Ida B. Roy and Miss Aglaia Solon. The various Tech activities throughout the year are recorded and advertised by students in the art department. Those won- derful decorations in the Boys’ Gym, the programs for Tantrums and Tech Turns to Music, and the posters publicizing class dances and elections are only a few of the many projects super- vised by the art instructors. —iaee REAR: Charlie Speight, Jim Flowers, Phil Johnson, Dick Brown, Tom Pettingill, Julie MacNayr, Pat Kirkley, Pat Cutting.

The spirit which the Music Department has given Tech began with the beats of “Rock Around the Clock’’ echoing at games and rallies. Tech’s Mr. Music, Lee Crabtree, instructs these groups: the Chorale, Girls’ Choir Boys’ Glee Club, and the “Swingsters’” which is a special jazz group made up from Band members for “Tan- trums XIII.” The Music Department teatures these groups annually in “Tech Turns to Music.” Thanks to Mr. “C”, our Music Depart- ment is one of the best.

Most fellows get to know at least one of our wood-shop teachers: Mr. Locko, Mr. Winslow, and Mr. Hanson. They give every Tech boy a better understanding of the art of working with wood. Several boys in the past have won money or recognition from the Ford Motor Company for their fine workmanship. The Woodworking course is divided into different categories. The regular woodturning course begins by teaching the students to set up a lathe. Rough stock is cut down to blueprint specifications. The year usually culuminates with the turning of an inlaid bowl or lamp. Pattern making shop communicates the knowledge of the types and industrial uses of patterns. In foundry shop, a boy learns how to make a casting from a pattern. Articles such as door knockers and letter slots are cast. From all these indications, a person can very well see that Tech has an excellent shop program.

Ouch! comes the exclamation from a “burning” future machinest. ‘That chip was hot.” This is no doubt a pretty familiar happening with every boy during the machine shop course. This course is under the instruction of Mr. Robinson, Mr. Reynolds, and Mr. Reed. The students acquire the knowledge of the operation of various machines, and also the reading of measuring instruments. Projects such as clamps, screwdrivers, and tap wrenches are produced during the year. Selected seniors have a chance to take auto shop where they dismantle and reassemble an engine, and pray that it will run. This is under the guidance of Mr. Reynolds, who also handles the advanced shop. The boys in this course can make projects of any desired material. Among these projects are boats, weather- vanes, and furniture. A printing shop is directed by Mr. Robinson where such articles as report cards and file cards are printed. The basic fundamentals are also taught. VOLTMN mzZz-rOPre) Basketball Fundamentals. Mr. Orcutt, Mr. Lawler, Mr. Kalloch, Mr. Peterson. In the girls’ gym classes, Miss Gray and Mrs. Kohn try to make Tech’s girls good citizens by teaching them good sportsmanship. The squad leaders meet before school to learn the skills so they can help the teachers. In the fall and spring, the girls go to the Armory to play softball, field hockey, and soccer. When the weather forces them to stay indoors, they learn basketball, volley- ball, apparatus, tumbling, and modern and square dancing. GIRLS’ GYM eR Now we come to the subject that just about everyone enjoys, physical education. Tech’s pro- gram includes calisthenics, apparatus work, and seasonal sports to condition ourselves physically. Weather permitting, classes go to the Armory grounds where we are given our choice of participating in football, softball, volley- ball, or soccer. If it is necessary to remain indoors, we play games in which everyone takes part. As each season arrives, we are instructed in basketball, swimming, volleyball, and other enjoyable sports. Our excellent instructors, Mr. Patterson, Mr. Kalloch, Mr. Orcutt, and Mr. Lawler, see that we are expertly instructed in each sport and are kept in good physical condition. That’s modern dance for you!

On the first day of school, the seniors walked to their classes, conspicuous in their orange and white hats. The class colors also appeared on the banner, which was dis- played for one week in each senior homeroom The class officers, Cordell O’Connor, president; Bev- erly Luce, vice-president; Linda Rugani, secretary; and Bar- bara Sampson, treasurer, got the class off to a good start on their senior activities with the help of class advisors, Miss Hilliker, Miss Friedman, Mr. Bowler, Mr. Hanson, and Mr. Northrup. Joyce Adams, David Allen, Steve Capone, Jacqueline Durfee, Willard Gralia, Robert Harris, John Hartley, Richard LaRochelle, Robert Maccarini, Myrtie Mitchell, Peggy Moriarty, Irving Phillips, Joe Roccisano, Janice Rowley, Harry Savas, Robert Taylor, and Katherine Wood made up the Senior Council. The first event of the senior year was the informal dance, “Arabian Nights.” The gym was transformed into the land of Alladin, complete to a genie rising from a lamp in the center of the floor. The orchestra even played authentic Arabian music for part of the evening. After college board examinations and mid-years, the seniors were glad to relax when the time arrived for the senior semi-formal dance, “Coral Mist”, which was held February 3. A fountain with coral water played in the center of the floor. The money collected in the fountatin was donated to the March of Dimes. The king and queen, Allan Wolff and Shirley Katz were elected in homeroom ballotting. They were crowned before a backdrop of under- sea scenes. Streamers and cut-outs of fish and star-fish com- pleted the decorations. The senior banquet on May 16 marked the beginning of the end of the activities that climaxed the senior year. The banquet this year was held at the American Legion Hall on Liberty Street. Durveher Brothers, Caterers, re- ceived the credit for an excellent turkey dinner. In accord- ance with tradition, the class ballot was read. Following this ceremony, there was dancing ; The biggest event on the social calendar for anyone in school is the Senior Prom. On June 7, couples in formal dress arrived at the Municipal Auditorium. Reflections from the mirrored crystal ball danced on the girls’ lovely gowns and the boys’ white jackets. The seniors went to school the next day for the class day activities. There was a program of entertainment in the auditorium. sas} bale June 13 was Graduation Day. As the seniors received their diplomas, they looked back on their years at Tech: When they first entered the halls of Tech as Freshmen, the school seemed so big and unfriendly. Gradually, how- ever, it became familiar territory, and the members of the class of 1956 started to feel at home. Freshman elections helped everyone to get acquainted. Freshman officers were Stuart Langton, president; Dave Salmond, vice-president; Nancy Murray, secretary; and Kathy Woods, treasurer. The high point of the freshman year was the informal dance, “Neptune’s Whirl.” King Neptune himself presided from the center of the floor. The officers of the class of 1956 for their junior year were Allan Wolff, president; Beverly Luce, vice-president; Linda Rugani, secretary; and Kathy Wood, treasurer. The class officers, student council members, and representatives from each homeroom made up the Junior Class Council. The homeroom representatives were Barbara Brandoli, Steve Capone, Mary Cicerchia, Patricia Conant, Fran Granfield, Robert Jablonski, Robert Kane, Richard LaRochelle, Hay- wood MacLoyd, Ruth Misiti, Peggy Moriarty, Francis Mul- cahy, Irving Phillips, Craig Powers, Joseph Roccisano, Janice Rowley, Ann Stebbins, Judy Taylor, and Robert Weaver. Student Council members were Gary Hagopian, Stuart Lang- ton, Arthur Moses. Anthony Pietroniro, Anthony Rodolakis, and Dave Salmond. The junior informal dance was “Harvest, Moon.” The football team was invited in honor of _ its championship year. The decorations were typical of the season—a scare-crow, corn stalks, and pumpkins The end of the year found the class of 1956 dancing again, this time at the semi-formal dance, “Carnival In Venice.” Grape- covered trellises decorated the walls. Then we were seniors! The class of 1956 would like to express their thanks and appreciation to their advisors, teachers, counselors, and principals. They have worked very hard to make our three years very enjoyable and profitable. The class is leaving Tech with a good background of experience to help them in years to come. We have learned a lot from our books. More important than that, however, we have learned to work with others. We have had fun and made many lasting friendships. Tech has given us a lot. We thank everyone who has worked to make our years here pleasant. CURRENT HITS 108 FRONT ROW, Left to Right: Richard Bolt, Charles Wilson, Norman Gaudreau, Lee Sanderson, Victor Bara, Mark Sirulnik.

FRESHMAN RECORD The class of 1958 got off to a fine start when in October they elected their freshman class officers. They were Dave Coupal, president; Joseph Guerkin, vice- president; Sonia Boshko, secretary; and Judy Turowski, treasurer. The freshman class did extremely well in the S.A. Drive. In fact, they topped both the Juniors and Seniors throughout the complete drive. In the early spring the frosh held their dance which turned out to be a big Success. —110— i i “Nay i Mr. Doane, Nancy EATED, Left to Right: Beverly Bullions, Russell MacNayr, Miss Roy, sat Bee Te Flencn i STANDING, Left to Right: Jane Siwinski, Priscilla Ratte, Pat Kirkley, Tambert Decker, Joan Voelker, Kathy Cotter, Eleanor Ritzmann, Forrest Tyson, Eleanor Lyons, Barbara Sampson. Under the excellent supervision of Mr. Doane and Mr. But- ler, this year’s Tech Tiger staff hopes that this yearbook is the best ever. The hard-working editors are: Russell MacNayr, Co- Editor and Picture Ident Editor; Nancy Bassett, Co-Editor, Se- nior Pictures Editor; Forrest Tyson, Sports Editor; Barbara Samp- son, Senior Biographies Editor; James Flowers, Layout Editor; Beverly Bullions, Club Editor; and Eleanor Lyons, Art Editor. They are ably assisted by the 6ther diligent workers of the staff. Miss Roy, Art Advisor, helped select the suitable designs for the cover, created by Bryce Nash, and the division pages. Each member has a little taste of all the main jobs which contribute to the production of the yearbook; he designs pat- terns for the pages, verifies picture identifications, writes copy, and performs the various other tasks which seem to be popping up constantly. The manager of the business staff, James Monaghan, with his eight assistants, has successfully completed a year of taking ads, making layout designs for them, and taking care of the money which comes from them. Each and every member of the entire staff has worked hard to help put “Tech on Records.” —112— MEUFFEL gEestRes yy SEATED, Left to Right: Sandra Cheney, Mr. Butler, Nancy Malley.

Among these are “Students Are Funny’ which supplies us all with many laughs, and “Council Chit-Chat’ which famila- rizes the student body with the business taken up at the Student Council meeting. “Notes On Entertainment,’ which has recently been restored, gives us food for thought concerning the public amusements at our disposal. Last year Tech News was awarded three cups for critical rating a nd excellence in the field of news, feature stories, poetry, and newspaper makeup. Tech High can be proud of its Tech On Records in the field of journalism. We offer our congratulations to the News staff for another successful year and wish success to the future staff. “Why the Chimes Rang” Tech’s assembly hall has furnished Techites with many interesting assemblies this year. The tri-ennial Christmas play “Why the Chimes Rang” was presented by the com- bined efforts of the Dramatic Club and Mr. Crabtree’s chorus. The Springfield Chapter of the Hampden County Musicians Union presented an exciting assembly on the “Evolution of Jazz”, which was narrated by Mr. Richard C. Berg, director of music in the Springfield Schools. Shortly before our Black Cat Fiesta a talent assembly was held to advertise the event. We previewed some of the acts from the Talent Show. The class of 1915 held its reunion in the form of an assembly which was led by Mr. Sinies, a member of that class. We met some other members and former teachers, and a few boys from the Concert Choir sang the class song of 1915. Probably one of the most useful assemblies was pre- sented to arouse interest in our Tiger Bank, which is spon- sored by the Springfield Institution for Savings. Various other assemblies were held at different in- : Coreen ay tervals during the year. Most of these were to either pro- ; mote the S.A. drive, to promote the general interest and support of the three classes, or for the many sports awards.

Under the direction of Miss Margaret Donovan, the members of the Student Council run the Tech Store, all class elections, charity drives, and participate in many other important activities. This year they formed an SA council with LEFT TO RIGHT SEATED: Miss Donovan, Tony Pietroniro, Stuart Lang- Stuart Langton as chairman to spark off ton, Barbara Brandoli, Al Wolff, Nancy Murray, Roberta Roberts, Judy the SA drive.

The Student Council was composed of twenty-one members this year with seven from each class. The officers are Alan Wolff, president; Stuart Langdon, vice-president; Barbara Brandoli, corresponding secretary; Nancy Murray, recording secretary; and James DiSanti, sergeant of arms. In November, five delegates were sent to the Orange Convention. This was a meeting of the Student Councils from all the schools of Western Massachusetts. The delegates from Tech were Joan Culverhouse, Arthur Moses, Tony Pietroniro, Roberta Roberts, and Edward Williams. Most Tech students are familiar with the Tech Store, and they should be. Where else can anyone find so many helpful school supplies and useful articles that have the Tech emblem on them. Under the direction of Mr. Woodworth and the management of Janet Balland, this store strives to satisfy the needs of the student body. For school supplies they have sold ball point pens, slide-rules, book covers, and even review booklets on history, mathematics, biology, and other important subjects. It is for certain that many Tech students have found them very helpful in their term and mid-year exams. A popular item this year has been a white zipper sweat shirt, with the Tech emblem monogramed on it. But here’s one item that’s thrilled many a Tech student. This is the Tech Tiger Mascot, an article which was just introduced this year to Tech Store buyers. This Tech Store is a well-managed Student Council project. Jan Balland, Judy Muller, and Willard Gralia iio BOARD Is it possible that there is anyone who goes to Tech who does not know of the S. A. Board and the work it does? Hardly, for the Board acts as the school treasurer. Money taken in at the various school functions is added to the S. A. membership _ dues to make up the S. A. fund.

Tech students are lucky to receive all these benefits while the S. A. mem- bership remains the lowest in the city, three dollars. The Board is made up of representatives from all major student activities and organizations and their advisors. The class presidents represent their respective groups, so the whole school really has a voice in what goes on. Have you ever tried to visualize what the traffic in our corridors without our student patrol would be like? Student Patrol consists of sixty-six mem- bers. Their chief is Eugene Lucia. The captains are Harvey Moller and Toy Lam, lunchroom; Charles Letendre, special assignments; David Salmond, Cor- tidor Patrol; Alan Wolff, Floors and Assemblies. Lieutenants are, in the lunchroom. George Danalis, Jon Goff, and Peter Fecke; in charge of the second floor and assemblies is Forrest Tyson; in charge of assemblies is Warren Lackstrom; on the third floor is Michael George; in charge of special assignments are Charles McKinney and Michael Ghareeb; in charge of corridor patrol is James DiSanti.

The Stage Crew performs many other important tasks throughout the year. They arrange the stage for our assemblies. They also receive the honors for the lighting and sound arrange- W ments at the assemblies and school dances. CRE This energetic group, under the direction of Mr. Winslow, consists of Steve Arabic, Victor Brown, Thomas Campbell, Robert Focose, David Haynes, Stearns Johnson, Roger Mathison, Donald Papuga, Lee Sanderson, and Anthony Trimboli. STUDENT Did you ever give any thought to the girls who work as cashiers in the lunchrooms or the boys who, as buggy boys and dishwashers, take care of the dishes and silverware you use for your lunch? They work everyday, assisting the adult staff with the difficult task of keeping LUNCH the lunchroom running efficiently. Miss Lillian O’Connor is in charge of this indispensable group: Linda Anton, Eleanor Car- dareli, Sandra Ciaschini, Judy Cowles, Elisabeth Grover, Dawn Hardy, Jane Kenison, Barbara WORKERS Martin, Alice Matsko, Hezekiah Moore, Margaret Moriarty, Brenda Oliveri, and Jane Siwinski, who work as cashiers on the lunch lines and the milk lines. Joe Abrahamson, Robert Brevilieri, Roger Danio, Ray Haglund, and Roger Mathison do the clearing and dishwashing. Surely everyone at Tech is aware of the Stage Crew and the importance of the work they do. Perhaps the most popular of all Tech activities is Tantrums. Part of the credit for this success must go to the Stage Crew. They have the difficult job of taking care of the scenery and STAGE props, and having everything in the right place at the right time.

The office staff is fortunate in having twenty-one capable students who have volunteered STUDENT their assistance to the school. Each period, there is a helper stationed in the main office, in Miss Garvey’s office, in Mrs. Anger’s office, and in the counselor’s office. These twenty-one students have varied duties. Several girls have charge of collecting the attendance records, while OFFICE others deliver special bulletins. The main job of the helpers is to run errands on the request of the office staff or counselors. They also file papers and change programs. Being sent outside on special errands during the period is not unusual. Tech owes a great amount of credit to these WORKERS hard-working students. An important part of the educational program of our school is managed by the Visual VISUAL Aids Club. This club, which consists of twenty-four members, is under the direction of Mr. Case. Every club member is familiar with all the visual aids equipment and is capable of operating it. They forfeit their study period each day in order to show slides and films and run the re- AIDS corders. Each period finds at least two students running a machine or repairing the films and other equipment. The films are usually shown in the old library. However, on many occasions club members are kept busy running another projector in the auditorium. The club does not meet on a particular night after school, but in special cases, meetings are held in Room 301 O p [= RATO RS during the homeroom period. Front Row, left to right: Robt.

This society was one of the first formed in the state. As in previous years, Mr. Chase and Miss Allen were advisors: Tony Rodolakis was the president, and Norma Siddall, secretary-treasurer. Worthy freshmen were admitted at a spring assembly. Each member has an identification card which allows him to leave study hall for library work, to leave school early if his last class is a study, and to receive an extra set of books. A three-year honor record aids a great deal when seeking admission to college. F.6uh 55 —120— RED CROSS COUNCIL This past year has been one for making the Tech Red Cross Council more popular with the Tech students, but still accomplishing their goal as a service club. The Council has put on assemblies, sold flowers at football and basketball games and at the Black Cat Fiesta in December, sponsored a Varsity-Alumni Basketball game, had their annual enrollment drive, sent Tantrums students to entertain at West- over and began a chest to send overseas. Miss Martin was the advisor again this year. Among the lead- ership was Ray Catuogno, president; Barbara Sampson, vice president; Agnes Scordino, corresponding secretary; Joan Culverhouse, recording secretary; and Carl Nelson, treasurer. —121— TECH CLUBS ANGLERS’ CLUB Every Thursday night, the Anglers’ Club meets under the able leadership of Mr. Alphonse “Ajax” Jackowski. The club’s membership is open to all who want to join, including faculty members. There are two main purposes of this group. The first is to ex- change knowledge related to tackle and angling, and to study the phases of this sport which most interest the members. The second purpose is to impress upon the members the importance of conservation of the hunting and fishing land of our country. The members also learn how to tie different flies and how and when to use each one. Brains at Work! CHESS CLUB One of the more interesting groups at Tech is the Chess Club. Its fifteen members meet every Tuesday night after school under the helpful guidance of Mr. Fales Newhall. This club is open not only for those experienced players, but-also for those who want to learn. Membership is gained by attending three meetings. Officers who were elected in this club are Barry Collins, president; Charles Carrol, vice-president; and Irving Phillips, secretary-treasurer. Contrary to the common belief, this club is for girls, too. This year, the club had one feminine member, Elaine Xides. —122— SEATED: Charles Bowman, Ed Lindsay, Vernon Wells STANDING: Mr. Jackowski, David Bertalotti, Maurice Cocchi, Sigurd Folstad. DEBATING CLUB Resounding through the corridors every Wed- nesday night are the voices of Tech High orators. There in room 209, under the direction of Miss Grady and Mr. Dunn, a variety of statements is de- bated. During business meetings, parliamentary pro- cedure is used in order that the students might be- come more familiar with it. Carl Morey presides over these meetings with the able assistance of his vice-president, Darrel Lund, and secretary, Betty Mc- Donnell. This is the first time in many years that Tech has had a debating club. It was formed primarily to prepare students for Model Congress, which is held annually at A.I.C. This year, Tech’s five rep- resentatives made a fine showing and proved the de- bating club is a beneficial as well as an enjoyable activity. Pro or Con?

Among these were an S.A. assembly and “Why the Chimes Rang’, which is put on every three years at Christmas. This year this group also put on a show for the Black Cat Fiesta. And for Tantrums, they had a very interesting act. Bill Frank was elected as president of this group. Jean Culverhouse as vice-president and Judy George as secretary-treasurer completed the officers for the year. SEATED: Mike Ghareeb, Harvey Plaus, Dave Sal- mond, Don Trice, Cordell O'Connor.

A _ girl must attend five sports meetings to become a mem- ber. This year Barbara Sampson is president; Linda Rugani is vice-president, Nancy Gifford is secretary; and Audrey Keating is treasurer. The G.A.A. officers, along with Mrs. Kohn and Miss Grey, plan most of the girls’ yearly sports ac- tivities. This year Tech sponsored the Field Hockey Play Day and put on a dance. Some of the sports in which the girls participate are volley-ball, swim- ming, basket-ball, and tennis. H � Left to Right: Brenda Oliveri, Barbara Sampson, Audrey Keating, Sonis Boshko and Linda Rugant. TECH HI-Y This year, the Hi-Y sallied forth with a full program of activities. With Jerry Lemberg as president, David Salmond as vice-president, Harvey Plaus as secretary, James DiSanti as treasurer and Don Trice as chaplain and under the guidance of Dr. Thomas “Doc” Candon, they had a very exciting and enjoyable year. At the Connecticut Valley Tri-Hi-Y Youth and Government As- sembly, Dave Salmond was elected Parliamentarian. This is a new office and Dave is the first to hold it. Some of the prominent events of the year were speakers on Military Obligation, preparation for college, and foreign affair; and a Christmas party, a hay ride, and several sports events. TECH CLUBS TECH NISIMAHA The Tech Nisimaha is a comparatively new Tech club. It was or- ganized in March of 1955 by several freshman girls, because the City Nisimaha was overcrowded. Each Thursday, the twenty-five Nisimaha members meet at the Y.W.C.A. The evening is started with a business meeting, followed by fun in the recreation room. Tech Nisimaha is quite an active group. It publishes a Y-teen newspaper and is presently working on adopting a war orphan through the Foster Parents’ Plan. The officers of Tech Nisimaha are: Judy Pinney, president; Evelyn Lantz, vice-president; Judy George, secretary; Judy Konopka. treasurer; and Audrey Keating, inter-club council representative.

SECOND ROW: Robert DeFilippi, Albert Briggs, Richard Monighetti, Pome ; : Carl Nelson, Ralph Ridgeway, Felix Tranghese. The club is divided into two groups, beginner and advanced. Both groups carry out proofice as- signments and take part in picture competition. As PHYS i CS CLU B the members become more qualified, they are allowed to take pictures to be used for bulletin board dis- plays. Later, their pictures are actually used in school publications. Mr. Manning Case and his two assistants, Dave Salmand and Harvey Plaus, supervise the Physics Club and the Tech High Radio Association. The Physics Club is open to all those who have a science hobby and wish to further it, or to those who wish to start one. The Radio Association broadcasts under the call letters of WICCR and is open to those who have a license and those who are about to apply. These two clubs meet every Thursday night after school and work for about two hours. They help to keep the school science equipment in good condition. The Physics Club took a trip to a television studio and both groups had projects in the Science Fair. The Physics Club is affiliated with the Science Clubs of America, and the Radio Association is registered with the Federal Communication Commission.

This group is under the supervision of Mr. Stanley Sprague who teaches them the care and safe handling of firearms. Officers for the group are: Al Sprague, president; Ray Heckler, vice president; and Linda Hocker, secretary. Two of the most important qualifications are that the members must furnish their own rifles and that all rifles must be equipped with target sights. At the Armory grounds, on every pleasant Thursday afternoon, potential Robin Hoods can be seen practicing. Although this is a new club, it already has fifteen mem- bers. They are under the direction of Mr. John Robinson. This group made most of their’ equipment, including bows, arrows, and targets, in the wood shop after school. Early in the year, the members elected the following offi- cers: president, Paul Norman; secretary, Dawn Hardy; and treasurer, Gary Clifford. PHYSIOLOGY CLUB Advised by Mr. James Curran and under the leadership of the very capable officers, the Physiology Club had a very successful year. The officers were Phyllis Samola, presi- dent; Linda Rugani, secretary; and Joyce Barkett, treasurer. The chief purpose of this group is to acquaint the girls with the complex workings of the human body. One of the first activities of the year was a field trip to the University of Massachusetts. There they were shown and told about the botany, zoology, bacteriology, and physi- ology labs. Other activities included field trips to the science labs at Mount Holyoke College and Springfield Hospital. The group also conducted tea hours and luncheons at which they heard talks by prominent men in the field of biology. SEATED: Richard Bolt, Ray Heckler, Francis Gerow, Barry Collins, Bruce Clark.

ENGINEERING CLUB On Tuesday afternoon, the Engineering Club meets under the guid- ance of Mr Stephen Ziemba. The only requirements to join the club are a strong interest in some field of science and some ability in physics and math. The meetings are planned so that local engineers come in and talk about their jobs. In the following weeks, the group visits their places of business. The members are also working on projects for the Science Fair and their own engineering Fair. The officers of the club are Bruce Shoppe, President; Wayne Braud- reau, Vice-president; Ann Howe, Secretary and Frank Saucy, Treasurer. TECH CLUBS —126— “Chemistry Aids the Biologist’ Richard Bartlett The Technical High Science Fair is an annual event open to all of Tech’s science students. Many interesting subjects are displayed by the students in competition for prizes. The prizes are awarded in the various subject fields such as chemistry, physics, biology, and electronics. The standards of evaluation used by the judges, who are selected from the community, are based on these four divisions: scientific approach to the problem; advancement in science of the contestant; ingenuity of construction, technical skill, and workmanship; and thoroughness. The projects had to be the work of one and only one student in order to qualify for the awards. Two of the first prize winners went to M.I.T. to compete with prize winners from all over the state. There, they had a chance to enter the National Science Fair. “Regeneration in Animals” Audrey Keating and Nancy Gifford Bee cICTURE OF LN REGENEF LIZARDS — CRAYEIS?

The big event of the year, Tantrums XIII, which was eagerly awaited by all, proved to be a dazzling display of versatile talent. Thanks to the unlimited time and effort on the part of Mr. Dunn, Mr. Crabtree, and Mr. Hannigan, as well as many Techites, Tech Tantrums was once again a great success. The show which had no particular theme this year was divided into three major acts: jungle, tiger club, and circus. Stu Langton and Al Wolff shared the honors of emcee. The jungle act, which featured native bongo drummers and dancers, had its setting in the Caribbean. The effect of the colorful scenery and costumes was very professional and dramatic. On a flick of the eye, the auditorium was magically transformed into the tiger club with a background of charcoal grey and pink. The tour Beats— the Joe Rocciasanos, Dave Socha, and Ed Marshall—caused no less than a sensa- tion with their rock and roll music and Bermuda shorts. Tech’s own “Little Tony” Pietroniro surprised us all with his accordion solo. It can never be said that our great faculty is not “hep to the jive” for they really gave out with some real cool music! Complete with pink bermudas, they rocked the audience with old favorites as well as new. The spirit of merriment that reigned over the circus scene with its gay paraders, band, wild animals and clowns infected everyone. Dancing bears and panthers, singing seals, and even a boy shot through a cannon—all were part of Tantrum’s fantastic circus. As the curtains closed on Tantrums’s XIJI,we all knew that it would be- come part of Tech on Records in years to come. ga § Up [eh F. gus ‘sy | | | FRONT ROW, left to right: Diana Carlson, Jan Muir, Ronnie Dunham, Charles Speight.

Once again the TECHNICAL High School football team fared well against the strong com- petition in the Western Massachusetts Football League, finishing in fourth place. After losing twenty-nine of the thirty-three regulars of last year’s championship squad, Russell Peterson, head coach, with the able assistance of coaches Robert Pasini, Joseph Ambrose, Jack Shea, and William Lennon, started to build the foundation of a team that would be representative of Tech. They have done just that as this year’s statistics show. The 1955 Tech team wound up the season with four wins, three losses, and a tie. The team should be respected considering the stiff competition which they faced. Opening the regular season against a strong, championship-seeking Greenfield team, the Tigers showed their lack of experience in being downed 25-0. With just one game under their belts, the Tigers prepared to meet a strong Agawam team. Combining the little experience gained in one game with a never-dying spirit, the ,Tigers came from behind twice to gain a tie, 27-27. The game was one of the most exciting seen in Western Massachusetts in a long time. With hopes raised, the Tigers set to work preparing for the all-important Chicopee con- test. Two days before the game quarterback Jim MacGovern, one of the few veterans remain- ing from the championship squad of last year, suffered a shoulder separation in practice. The Tech team, with Bob Maccarini filling the quarterback slot, seemed to lack the spark they had in the Agawam game and were handed their second defeat, 13-0. Cathedral, with a hard-charging line, fast and shifty backs, was too much for the spirited Tigers in the always exciting traditional Cathedral game, being handed their second straight defeat, 27-6. With such a record as the Tech Tigers had at this time, most teams would have quit, but not Tech’s. On to Northampton where the Tigers showed their ferocity in whipping Northampton 21-0. Next on the Tigers re- venge list was Holyoke High School. Combining speed with courage, the Tigers were hard to stop as they romped over Holyoke 26-0. Scrambled boys.

Westfield was toppled 27-6, thus giving Tech its first win at Pynchon Park this year. In a thrilling battle the Tech Tigers finished their season by beating West Springfield 14-12. With ten seconds remaining, and the ball on Tech’s one yard line, West Springfield in possession, the West Springfield quarterback handed off to their ace-halfback, but he was stopped on the 6 inch mark by a stubborn Tech line. This victory gave Tech a per-cent well over the 500 mark. The future looks bright, as Tech has eighteen men out of the 33 regulars returning next year. They are: Mike Del Viscio, Frank Dias, Stuart Dennis, Robert Focosi, Edward Forbush, Donald Grady, Garry Hill, Ernie Hanson, Al Jolioeur, George Kane, Arthur La Bonte, Ray La Plante, Thomas Lynch, Thomas Marini, John McCormack, Bryce Nash, Malcolm Perry, and James Windguard. This combined with a strong freshman team, should give stiff competition to next year’s opponents. Congratulations to these senior Tech Tigers: Dan Balardini, Alan Beard- dell, Robert Boyle, Joe Ferri, Fred Guyer, Gene Hanks, Robert Jablonski, Dick Joubert, George Lewenczuk, Robert Maccarini, James McGovern, Cordell O'Connor, David Peterson, Dick Rus- eli, William Safarik, Dick Swenor, and Allan Wolff.

With all new material, Coach Bill Lawler built his team mostly around Steve Empsal, David Peterson, Earl Harrington, Ken Morehouse, Jim Gavin, and junior Jack Mc- Cormack. These players saw a lot of action on the junior varsity last year. Tech played seventeen games this year, winning eight and losing nine. We started the season fast by topping Classical, then traveled to New York State and lost to a fast playing Mt. Pleasant five. Next Tech played Northampton and lost in the closing sec- onds by three points. The following game was a push-over as the Tigers swamped Commerce in its second Inter-City League win.

Then the downfall started, as Tech lost its next six games in a row. Losing one by five points, one by two points, and one by one point, the Tigers could not seem to click. But, Tech’s best was yet to come as the team won its next six games by con- vincing scores. The Tech Tigers closed out the season by losing to Cathedral in the final Inter-City game, as Cathedral won the title. The game was close and exciting. Tech can be proud of its players as they showed great spirit throughout the entire schedule. The team was composed of S. Empsall, J. McCormack, J. Gavin, T. Connery, J. Lundberg, Z. Katz, B.

Playing on a field of mud and snow, the Tigers battled Classical to 1-1 tie. Inside Jim Gavin kicked a goal into the nets to give Tech a 1-0 lead half-way through the fourth period. With three minutes remaining, Classical managed to tie the score with a low shot into the corner of the goal. The teams then fought through two overtime periods with no one scoring. Tech had a very successful season, winning 11, losing 1, and tying 3. The Tigers were co-champions with Classical for the inter-city title. The team opened the schedule by winning its first five games. John Kinsley, Jim Gavin, Tony Rodlakis, and Andy Psilakis were the scoring punches. Dick Scofield, Sonny Tyson, Dave Socha, George Korgin, and Frank Savoy did outstanding work in stopping opponents from scoring. In the Tigers next game, they took their only loss of the year, losing on a penalty kick to Classical. The Tigers avenged their defeat by beating Classical 1-0 in their final game. The Kallockmen then beat West Springfield, Commerce, and Trade. Com- merce managed to tie Tech in their second annual match 1-1. ida Mr. T. Corliss, T. Rodolakis, Kallock, Dave Socha 7 The next game of the schedule was played with Ludlow, ending in a 1-1 tie. With such a fine record and the Co-title of the City Championship, Tech was invited to play in the Western Mass. playoffs. In their first game, the Tigers easily beat Easthampton 6-0. Jim Gavin led the scoring with three goals. Dave Socha, John Kinsley, and Tony Ro- dolakis scored the remaining goals. Goaly Dick Scofield and fullbacks Sonny Tyson and George Korgin did an outstanding job on defense. In their second game, Tech beat Ludlow 2-1. Andy Psilakis and John Kinsley scored the goals. On the whole, Tech High can be very proud of its soccer team. Members of the team were: D. Socha, P. Rowe, F. Savoy, T. Rodolakis, F. Tyson, J. Gavin, B. Clarke, A. Psilakis, D. Scofield, J.

F- gus ‘ss The smell of chlorine in the air, the sound of water slopping up against the sides of the Boys’ Club pool tells us that we are in the presence of swimmers. Eighteen splashers, one manager, and a coach compose the Tech team. The Tigers had a rugged schedule of fourteen meets which they engaged in with such vigor that only three teams escaped drowning. The team was tre- mendous; they had the old “Tech Spirit”, the will to win. The only teams they lost to were the University of Connecticut fresh- men, Willistan Academy, and Deerfield Academy. The team par- ticipated in three championships: the Massachusetts High School Championships at Gardner High School, the Western Massa- chusetts Championships at Amherst College, and the New England Championship at Andover Academy. They placed second in the state championships and won the Western Massachusetts Cham- pionships. Barry Gran, Dick Rivers, James Diotaleui. Bill Settle, Len Conti, Ben Knight, Bob Dinnie. Ben Knight, team captain, was outstanding for the season. He scored 84-1 4 points for high man. Len Conti and Bill Settle were second and third, with 54-1 4 and 52-3 4 points respectively. Nothing has to be said for the team; they were a swell group of boys representing Tech with fine sportsmanship. The team was composed of G. Ekimovich, B. Knight, R. Col- by, J. Legein, R.

Under the guidance of Coach Jack Shea and Mr. Charles Hill, former McGill hockey star, the team finished first in its division in the Western Massachusetts Hockey League. The Bengals opened the season with three straight wins over Trade, Chicopee, and Classical. Next on the schedule were the Trade Beavers who managed to hold the Tigers scoreless while scoring the goals themselves. How- ever, Tech bounded back with an 11-4 win over Chicopee. Then the Tigers won their next four games over Classical, Holyoke, Chicopee Vocational, and Cathedral, and finished the season with a loss to West Springfield ending in first place in Division 1. Then in the playoffs, the Tigers lost a very close game to Cathedral, 1-0. They also lost a consolation game to Classical. Throughout the season the Tech sextet was usually comprised of Jerry Bissonnette, Fred Guyer, George Hinck- ley, Ronnie Mayhew, and Dave Socha, with Bob Maccarini tending goal. Coach Shea also had a fine group of sub- stitutes without which he could not have done so well. The pins are rolling; the Tech bowling team is on the alley. The nine Tigers under the supervision and guid- ance of Russ Peterson are playing and winning their final game of the season. This will be the second time Com- merce has fallen prey to Don Grady, Paul Hebert, Fred Hunter, Jerry Paros, Bob Ellis, Bill Safarik, Jerry Douglass, Don McNaughton, and the bowling manager, Bob Focosi. The team did a splendid job compiling an impressive record of six wins to four losses. They had a winning season with an average well over the .500 mark. But, again they failed to gain permanent possession of the Interscholastic League Bowling trophy. Competition in the league of 5 schools was great and probably the toughest two games to lose were to our neighbors across the street; the other two losses were to Trade, this year’s champs. There is much self- satisfaction and pride among the team over their record and we at Tech are proud of them; they represented Tech in the traditional spirit. We give them a tip of the hat and our best wishes for next year.

TENNIS ee Mr. Zahner, Ron Carroll, Al Deyo, Neal Minor, Ken Taylor, Tom Petténgill, Charles Tay- lor, Jim Wingard, Charles Petronino. KNEELING: Bernie Choiniere. Crew first started in 1953 when a group of sea-scouts plus a number of others encouraged Mr. Zahner to organize a crew at Tech. That year, until the ice froze and then after it broke up again, Tech’s crew was out on the river shaping the path for crews to come. This was all made possible by the A. I. C. coach Bill Bubrer who loaned us the facilities of their boathouse and one of their boats. Since then the Springfield School System has acquired three boats of their own and Tech has had a very successful season. The first race was with Berheley House of Yale University which Tech won. They then raced the Yale Freshman second crew for Tech’s only loss. Poughkeepsie High was the next victory, and was won by a length and a half. Tech won the last race with Andover by a length, making a record of three wins and one loss. Bernie Choiniere.

GIRLS’ SPORTS For pure pleasure and for physical training, Miss Gray and Mrs. Kohn supervise the Tech girls during school and at after school sessions. These active teachers help the girls toward better sportsmanship. Field hockey was played in the Fall at the Armory grounds. The best players were then chosen to represent Tech at the annual Field Hockey Playday at Forest Park. Tech was hostess this year, as all the high schools partici- pating take turns as hostesses at the volley-ball, basketball, and field hockey play days. During the winter months, the girls’ gym, the boys’ club swimming pool, the Chestnut Bowling Alley, and the Coliseum were used by G.A.A. members. In the gym, mats and apparatus such as horses, bucks, boom, rings, and ropes were used for stunts. Also volley-ball and badminton were played over nets strung across the gym. Fuh. a Strike Two! One of the most popular girls’ sports was basketball, played with a skill which can match the boys’. Square and modern dancing were taught in classes and exhibited in Tantrums. The girls bowled every Thursday afternoon at special rates practically all winter. Swimming was enjoyed by the girls at the Boys’ Club pool. This year, a Senior Life Saving Course was held for those eligible. Tryouts for cheerleading were held in late winter. There was a very large turnout for the nine possible positions on the squad. Spring finally arrived and with it, the opportunity to play softball and tennis at the Armory and Forest Park. To end an unusually busy year, the most active girls were awarded with school letters, and the highest award, the G.A.A. pin, wad given to a few honored girls at a spring assembly.
