Pieciak Publisher: Josten’s American Yearbook Company Topeka, Kansas ad - Y — o eo The Dedication Traditionally, The Tiger dedicates the year’s edition to a Staff member who has given many years of devotion and spirit to the school. The 1981 Tiger is dedicated to three such individuals. Mr. Donald Grace, Guidance Counselor, retired in February, 1981. Born in Pittsfield, Vermont, Mr. Grace received the de- gree of Bachelor of Science in Education from Fitchburg State College. He also attended the University of Massachusetts and Springfield College. After serving in the Navy from 1942 to 1945, Mr. Grace entered the System in 1947. His first position was at Chestnut Junior High. In 1962 he was appointed as a Guidance Counselor and came to Tech. In 1972 Mr. Grace left Tech to become the Coordinator of the Project Career Information Center. He returned to our Guidance De- partment in 1974. He coordinated the Career Guidance Center at Tech from 1975 to 1978, when he again returned to Guidance. As his name implies, Mr. Grace is considered beloved and dear. We truly shall miss him. Mrs. Helen B. Jones, a member of the Science Department since 1961, retired June 30, 1980. Born in Dalton, Massachu- setts, she graduated from Classical High School. Mrs. Jones received a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in Education degrees from American International College. Prior to coming to Tech, Mrs. Jones substituted in the System from 1958 to 1960. She also taught at the Springfield Hebrew Day School on a part time basis from 1960 to 1961. Because of illness, Mrs. Jones was on leave during the past school year. Those who have had the good fortune of knowing her will remember her as having taken delight in teaching the subject of Physics. We wish her well, that she may enjoy her retirement. Mr. William C. Kennedy, Assistant Principal since October 13, 1970, retired on August 31, 1980. Born in Chicopee, Massa- chusetts, Mr. Kennedy received a Bachelor of Science degree and Fitchburg State, a Master of Art from Columbia University and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies from Spring- field College. Mr. Kennedy served in the Air Force. He taught in the Granville, Chicopee and Valley Stream, New York sys- tems prior to accepting a position in the Mathematics Depart- ment at Duggan Junior High in 1958. Mr. Kennedy came to Tech’s Math Department in 1959 and became a Counselor in February, 1965. He served as Acting Assistant Principal and Acting Principal before being appointed as a Permanent Assis- tant Principal in 1970. Mr. Kennedy will be remembered as an easy going man who thought of everyone as “pal.’”’ His devotion to the student body and Staff is a quality that will be remembered. a lala: _ 7 y - ¥ 7, ‘ ¢ q s . f 7 ‘ ‘ - : —e ‘ ae i rr 1 . | wai - . ve a - r ‘ = b ¢ ‘4 +2 .

Many teachers make these clubs possible by donating their time to our students. These students learn much from the different activities and have a lot of fun at the same time. Students involved in the activities represent Tech and we are proud of them. SUPPORT YOUR CHEERLEADERS!

These individuals work very hard, under the direction of Mr. Melikian. The Band performs at rallies, assemblies and the school’s annual Talent-Fashion Show. Chorus Mr. Melikian is also the director of the school’s chorus. Another small organization, the chorus has been invited to perform at Baystate West and Eastfield Mall. During their Christmas performances the members brought cheer to the young and old in the audience. The chorus also performs at Graduation. Audioe Visual Aides Mr. Melikian is the advisor for the Audio Visual Aide group. A.V.A. provides the school with projectors, films, record players and the various media. If help is needed, A.V.A. is there. Unfortunately, when the pho- tography session was held, none of the A.V.A. members were present. The TIGER Staff would like to take the opportu- nity to recognize these mem- bers: Patrick Shea, Thomas Shea, and Frederick Spann. 1.

Cafeteria Aides we TIGER PAUSE SALAD BAR eae } } { i eee The life of the cafeteria aid is not an easy one. Each aide hasa given responsibility and must perform that responsibility effi- ciently in order for the three lunch sessions to run smoothly. Handling money is no easy task if one cannot compute quickly and accurately. Those whose responsibilities deal directly with food service and mainten- ance must meet similar de- mands. All work together with the adults to make the lunches run like clockwork. CAFETERIA AIDES: Ann Simard, Ed Nieves, Diane Arena, Barbara May- nard, Daniel Bissonnette, Mary Waterman, Cathie Gould. acaionasncietel cscs = 15 The Office Aids work during a free period to help out the la- dies in the office. They perform many tasks such as file, run er- rands, make phone calls, and tidy up the office. They are hardworking students and are appreciated by the adults. FRONT ROW: Charlie Brun- nell. BACK ROW: Richard Ste- panian, Bruce Arnold, Kelley Glenn, Gloria Jones, Awilda Ri- vas, Yvette Brown, Debbie Gebo. Sam Robinson, our only Library Aide, has | Boba been on the job for four years. His tasks are : many. Sam keeps the books and shelves orga- Ee Sh aN nized and clean. He also lends a hand if some- th ON! wey one needs help. Sam’s hard work and organi- gl zation is a definite asset, and Mr. Murphy ap- preciates his help. The School Store Aides help Mr. McGrath during the lunch periods. They sell school supplies and keep the Store neat and organized. There are three Aides. Pre- sent for the Photograph is Darryl Williams. In Control ROTC has been a part of Tech since 1966. The Corps consists of cadets who play an important part in making ROTC what it is. Chief Master Sargeant Henry Palmer and Colonel William Potter are the guiding force behind ROTC. The group has made annual trips to Truro Air Force Base at Cape Cod, where senior cadets go for officer orientation; to Bradley Field Air Museum to introduce freshmen cadets to different aircrafts; and to Fed- eral Aviation Authority where junior cadets learn about air- craft regulations. The biggest annual trip is to McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey, where cadets spend an exciting week experienceing Air Force life. The last annual trip is to New London Coast Guard Academy, where incoming sen- iors see what an Academy in- stallation is like. R.O.T.C.

ROTC has been an honor unit for six consecutive years, plac- ing them in the top 5% of the ROTC units in the country. Each year that they are chosen as an honor unit, ROTC is able to appoint three cadets to each academy in a special unit witha four year fully paid scholar- ship. The ROTC member learns pride and how to be a good Air Force Cadet. The cadets are re- quired to wear the ROTC uni- forms once a week at which time they are inspected and graded. Cadets are able to earn ribbons and rank by joining various activities within the corps as well as performing well on his assigned jobs. On January 14, 1981 the ROTC held its Seventh Annual Military Ball. A formal event, the Ball was once again a great success. All cadets who attended and their guests enjoyed a great time. Music was provided by the Coast Guard Band, a group from the Coast Guard Academy of New London Connecticut. Crowned Miss Military Ball this year was Migdalia Negroa. As in the past, Colonel Potter and Sargeant Palmer organized a successful, classy affair. However, the men are quick to acknowledge that Cadet officers helped greatly. R.O.T.C.

On December 13, 1980 the ROTC Drill Team hosted the first New England Regional Drill Competition, which was held at the Holyoke National Guard Armory. The competi- tion, which began at 10:00 a.m., lasted until 3:30 that afternoon. Other ROTC teams came from all over Massachusetts and in- cluded Army and Navy repre- sentation, as well as other Air Force Units. The drill teams were judged on originality, dif- ficulty and precision of ove- ments. All commands are made by silent gesture or tapping. The judges for the competition were from Norwich Military a School in Vermont. The head judge was James Anderson, a 1979 graduate of Tech, now a student at Norwich. On January 17, 1981 ROTC attended a second drill compe- tition, at Tiverton, Rhode Is- land. Although Chief Palmer entered only one team, the Blue Bengals, this unit performed superbly, to take first place in the male team with rifles cata- gory. 21 FOREVER PRESENT, FOREVER WORKING!

IN APPRECIATION ... The TIGER STAFF dedicates this page to those who worked so diligently with the Student Council for the Toys for Tots campaign. Students arranged for drop off centers at different places such as King’s, McCrory’s, all of the Big Y stores in the area, Sixteen Acres Garden Center, and many more. As an incentive, Tech students were given “gifts” in return for making a toy donation. An hour was dropped from an individual’s detention time for every toy brought in. A free box of popcorn was given in exchange for a toy. All overdue book charges were erased if a toy was brought in to the City Library. At the end of the drive, a scrap book of all of the things that Tech did during the campaign was submitted. Every participating school passed one in, and all of these were judged. Once again, Technical High School won first place! The school was awarded $750.00, which will be used for school activities. Aside from being financially richer, Tech students are also richer in another sense. The collection of over 5,000 toys for distribution to needy youngsters in the area makes all well aware of the Tech student body’s desire to help the less fortunate. Tech students truly understand the meaning of Christmas. 23 Electronics Oceanography Two specialized clubs at Tech are the Oceanography and Electronics Clubs. Both are advised by Mr. Hough of the Science Department. Mr. Hough, who developed the Oceanography Class, has watched interest grow in this popular study during the past 7 years. A major highlight of the school year for this Club’s members is a field trip for the purpose of whale watching. Mr. Hough feels that the club is very beneficial to the students’ education, and enjoys presenting this subject to them. The Electronics Club is in its first year of existence. Club members meet before and after school to work on individual computer and electronics projects. Students have been assigned to local banks and businesses, voluntarily working at computer projects at these locations. Electronics: Eddie Whitley, Gene Lee, Chris McNeeley, Scott Sanderson, Fred Spann. Oceanography: Seated: Tony McDonough, Greg Lockwood, Awilda San- tiago, Dianne Jenkins, Richard Lopez. Stand- ing: Ivan Oliver, Jeff Lockwood, Johnny Ross. Honor Society The Technical High School Chapter of the National Honor | Society was chartered in 1959, { t succeeding the former Pro Mer- ito Society. Membership is based on scholarship and char- acter. Since grades are cumula- tive, the average for the year determines eligibility. The ad- vantage of belonging to the Na- tional Honor Society is the op- portunity to win scholarship for college through competitive examination. Three year honor members are awarded a certifi- cate, a pin, and a gold tassel to wear on their caps at gradu- ation.

This year’s show, LIGHT UP THE NIGHT, proved to be another fun and financially successful event. The house was filled both nights. The students practiced long and hard, both in and out of school, to iron out problems that the snow had had. Light- ing had to be just right, the P.A. system had to be in working or- der. Everyone had to know what his job was and when to do it. Unforseen problems had to be worked out. All the hard work paid off, and the students who participated could be proud of a job well done. Many thanks for bringing such a fine show to our school. 27 28 All The News That’s Fit To Print! TECH NEWS The Tech News Editorial Staff, under the direction of Editorial Advisor Mrs. Heyl, is probably the only high school news staff in the state that gathers the news, writes it, makes the paste-up, and then, under the direction of Print Teacher Mr. DiDomenico, makes the nega- tive, the picture halftones, the goldenrod, does the opaquing, makes the printing plate, does the printing, and finally the dis- tributing. And then it starts all over again. The Business Staff, under the leadership of Mr. Wallace, has kept the paper supplied with ads. TECH NEWS encourages con- tributions from students in the form of editorials, news items, pictures, sports items, poetry and cartoons. The Staff consid- ers TECH NEWS to be your paper and will give you credit for your contributions. The importance of getting a pa- per out every month puts pres- sure on the staff at deadline time. It is at this time that the decisions have to be made about what goes in, what stays out and what changes have to be made in order for all of the material to fit. Then the scis- sors and the paste come out and the paper is readied for print- ing. The TECH NEWS staff has tried to make a copy available to each student. 1.

The same goal was theirs this year. The yearbook staff consists of 6 students who worked in a joint effort to put out the annual edi- tion. This was no easy task. Yet those who took part were pro- ‘. £ i_- : vided with training and exper- . : : ee ience in reporting, in photogra- . 1 . itt phy, in designing layouts and in . fund raising.

The team played more than half of the scheduled games with just 18 players. Doing the best it could with what it had, Tech finished the season with a 0-9 record. The squad had a few bright spots in its performance, and it always hung tough. The team has had, and will continue to have our support. 1980-81 FOOTBALL TEAM: FRONT: Ricky Ward, Richard Lo- pez, Barry Thomas Co-captain Ed Whitley, Co-captain Bill Hyde, Paul Adams, Vincent Poon, MID- DLE ROW: A!

Many promising veterans were coming back. But, like the oth- er 1980 Spring Sports Teams, the Tennis Team was hurt by the Teachers’ Strike. Although its season did not turn out as well as expected, the team did the best it could with what it had. Mr. Combs served (no pun intended) as Tennis Coach.

Some of the outstanding par- ticipants were Gary O’Neal, who placed first in the 100 yard dash, and super sophomore Mark Gooden, who held a first place in the 120 high hurdles and a second in the high jump. But we also cannot forget about the 440 relay team, consisting of Gary O’Neal, JessieWebb, Jonathan Holmes and Tyrone Farris, who won back to back championships in 1979 and 1980.

Although they lost the quarterfinals in the Western Massachusetts Tournament, they had some great efforts by standing Team members Ra- fael Zavala and catcher Ken Lord, both of whom made All Western Mass First Team.

It may be that the person has a job or some other activity that demands his atten- tion after 2:10. THE TIGER staff interviewed some of these people and reports that an after school job is not limited just to students. Most of the students who responded to our survey seemed to work in food services. The faculty members seemed to favor giving attention to an activity that has been theirs for some time. No matter what the activity, there is money to be made and many other benefits.

On the job for several months, Marilyn’s duties consist of cooking and serving food to the elderly. Marilyn feels that the pay, for now, is adequate. She does pay into Social Security and is covered by Workman’s Compensation. Some of the fringe benefits are that she gets her birth- day and holidays off. Marilyn is pleased that she has the job, in light of the nation’s economic situ- ation. There is the possibility of Marilyn having full time employment after graduation. 69 HANDS OFF THE SHRIMP! Junior Joe Liquori works as a Busperson at Beefsteak Charlie’s on Boston Road. Joe, who has been on the job since October, 1979, works approximately 20 hours per week. Although his salary is low, the tips are great. Joe is covered by Workman’s Compensation, and he pays into the Social Security System. The best fringe benefit to Joe’s job is that he gets free meals, but he is not allowed the more expensive items, such as steak and shrimp. For now, the job is fine but Joe has no desire to remain a Busperson after gradu- ation.

For the last 2% years, he has been a disc jockey for STCC’s radio station, WTCC. Mr. Waters, a Springfield College gra- duate (B.S. 1978, M.ED. 1980), first became inter- ested in radio announcing as an undergraduate 5% years ago. Having free time, he filled in at Springfield College’s WSCB. The rest is history. Mr. Waters does not get financial payment. However, he does receive passes to concerts, free records, T-shirts, and contacts in the music and record fields. Have any requests or dedica- tions? Call Mr. Waters! 71 RONALD’S FRIEND Senior Michael Gendreau works at the Boston Road McDonald’s. Mike’s position as cook is quite a responsibility. A popular eating spot for young and old alike, Mike obviously must work quickly to provide for the masses. He also per- forms other tasks when help is not available (see photo). On the job for over a year, Mike works between 15 and 20 hours per week. Other than Workman’s compensation and Social Security, an additional benefit from McDonald’s is pay- ment of 40¢ per hour towards the employee’s food on work days. Mike sees no future employ- ment at the restaurant after graduation. But for now, it’s his kind of place!

Just before World War II an old Scotsman in Ludlow gave me an old practice charter to learn on. It was old and cracked and didn’t work very well, so I didn’t progress too far. Later on during the Korean War I got a brand new practice charter and a tutor and started teaching myself, much to the dismay of some of the officers in the first batallion, B.O.Q. A few years later, when out of the service, I started getting some formal teach- ing by the pipe major of the Holyoke Caledonian Kiltie Band. His only remuneration was that I play in his band; so I’ve been playing in the Ho- lyoke Band ever since. The Holyoke Kiltie Band is quite a colorful group. It plays for parades, political gatherings, anniversaries, etc. It also plays in competition at some of the local High- land Games.” 73 Senior Margaret Jones works as a Library As- sistant at the Main Branch of the Springfield City Library. Her main function is to perform those tasks which would free the full time work- ers for more in depth business. The job consists of organizing and returning books, helping pa- trons use the copy machine, setting up the mi- crofilm equipment (see photo), and other small but helpful activities. Margaret, who has been on the job since November of 1979, enjoys the 18-20 hours per week that she works. The job is inter- esting, she gains the additional knowledge in de- velopment of research skills and, best of all, there is the potential for permanent employ- ment.

Mr. Miller began studying calligraphy (from the Greek “Beautiful Writing’’) approxi- mately a year ago. Since then the life of this man has not been the same. At school he completed work for the Tech Toys For Tots, and miscella- neous projects. Outside of school, Mr. Miller has created beautiful work for his own enjoyment and for charity. Calligraphy has turned into a fun and rewarding activity for our man in 230. 75 BEING FRIENDLY For Senior Tom Bloomingdale, being a chef at the Sumner Avenue Friendly Family Restau- rant has been a good experience. “If I ever want to get a job as an experienced cook, I will have the experience which I have acquired from this restaurant.” Tom, who has been on the job for over one year, works anywhere from 25 to 35 hours per week. Aside from making a good sala- ry, Tom lists other benefits: can get off on almost any day requested; 30% discount on food eaten during work or % hour before and after work; work with fun people!

Actually, Fred is at the job, but not on it. Fred is a custodian for several Medical Offices on Maple Street. Fred’s dad, who works in this ca- pacity part-time, got Fred involved at the age of seven. Knowing for so long what the job entails, Fred has managed to do the work in six hours every week. The one acknowledged benefit is free soda. However, Fred obviously makes him- self at home when he thinks no one is looking. Fred does not pay into Social Security, nor is he covered by Workmen’s Compensation. But the job involves just enough to give Fred a sense of worth and to gas up the Toyota. TRADING WITH TYKE! Senior Dennis Brown spends 24 hours per week at his iob at the Bay State West Orange Julius. Dennis works as a cook, cashier and clean up person-whatever has to be done, he does. On the job for one year, Dennis is allowed certain benefits. He can eat for free, and he is given vacation time. Covered by Workmen’s Compen- sation and Social Security, Dennis feels that he has ample benefits, However, he does feel that there is no potential for permanent employment. For now, though, Dennis is satisfied.

You know those essay contests that your English teachers are always pushing? Some of them pay off! Ask John Lamontagne, a senior here at Tech. He will be $100 richer as a result of an essay that he wrote. In the Fall, John’s English teacher, Mr. Shea, mentioned the VOICE OF DEMOCRACY contest sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars based on the theme, ‘My Commitment to My Country.’ Several students, including John, submitted essays to English Department Chairperson, Ms. Hallen, whose committee selected the winners. On the basis of content and coherence, John Lamontagne placed first, with senior Adolfo Cortez coming in second and sophomore Christopher Desasso placing third. The next step was taping the essay. Mr. Edward Herzog, V.F..W. contest chairman, took John to Channel 40 with the prize winning entry where John made a tape to be entered in the district contest. In the district, John’s entry placed third in a field of 18. On January 10, 1981 John and his parents were invited to a gala V.F.W. Awards Banquet where John received a special commendation. He will be given his one hundred dollar prize at the Awards Assembly at Tech in May, where Adolfo and Chris will also receive their prizes, of $25 each. This is John’s award winning speech: My Commitment to My Country Since this nation began, Americans have believed effort was by itself a reward. Americans have believed, and still do, that every problem has an answer and that good intentions guarantee good results. However, what this country does in the next years will greatly affect how we succeed in the future. My commitment to this belief requires that I become well educated and help educate others sothat they will realize what this country must stand for in the future to come. This country’s influence will be seen and judged by the world. In this judgement, our constancy and subconfidence will be put to a severe test. Our foreign policy will mean very little if other countrie,' see our actions as sporadic initiatives reflecting an illogical purpose. In the same way as this country, I must set a good example for people I don’t know as well as ones I do. People must recognize that either side of a dispute is going to be willing to give up on a conference table what it fought and lost men over on a battle field. The best possible agreements must be those in which everyone takes part in maintain- ing. Therefore, no one is going to be forced into political settlement that will lead to their destruc- tion. The problem of destruction is novel in the military actions and policies. The military has been, in the past, asked to be ready for war and have done so. Military use is a stringent means of peace keeping, but in some cases is the only alternative. Because of my beliefs, my commitment to this country has me willing and ready to join the armed services in hopes of becoming more disciplined as a part of the peace keeping force known world over. By becoming part of this peace keeping force, I feel that I can somewhat fulfill my obligations to the country that has nurtured me and provided my freedom. At the same time, I can help people realize the different situations between countries and how they could have been prevented. I feel that I must act as a conscience by pointing out right from wrong. But even more important, I feel I must conduct myself as a model for the younger people to follow in hopes that they will become aware of the obligations and responsibilities that some people unfortunately neglect. We see eutopia as a road of righteousness and the true destination of us all. To reach this place of righteousness, we as a country must reach out to friend and foe, to draw this world together in peace. I feel that in order to get people to listen to me, I must keep myself inside these boundaries that I have spoken about, for not only myself, but this country as well. I must set a good example for other people not only Americans but all the countries of the world to follow. Wherever our grudges may be, we must relic to the prospect of building not a continented peace but a complete world responsible for its human rights and freedom. I see myself participating in a role as a model for those who are younger and as a conscience for the adult world. I must not merely preach what I believe, I must live by it. This is my commitment to my country. MRS. B. GOES TO WASHINGTON Mrs. Barend, a Mathematics teacher here at Tech, was invited to the Inauguration of President Ronald Reagan. She and her husband were invited through personal relationships. Accompanying them were two Tech graduates, Pual Tyburski and Debra Lloyd.

He was also a 2 year member of the Wrestling team. Mr. Wright, Class of 1942 In recalling some differences since 39 years have passed, our Principal recalls no noticeable unruly behavior. The faculty was made up of the strictest of disciplinarians. Mr. Wright mentioned that there were no park- ing problems since students then did not use cars for school transportation. Mr. Forgue, Class of 1946 When Mr. Forgue attended Tech, the student enrollment was over 2,000. Tech was known to be one of the top technical high schools in the country. The school especially was noted for its Math and Science programs. Sports were big back then. There was a sell-out for every game. Mr. Forgue also said that students were better disciplined. Mr. Combs, Class of 1947 His old homeroom is now the Library, but other than that, Mr. Combs remembers few things as being different. There were more mechanical drawing rooms which are now academic classrooms. Some subjects, such as Math, were quite different compared to the modern approaches to the same material. There were more faculty members. Students didn’t have to raise money for projects like they do today. (Editor’s Note: That’s when students paid their dues!) There was a dress code, so the student of 1947 is catagor- ized by Mr. Combs as having been neater. Mr. Setian, Class of 1953 “Tech was a three year school. There were about 2,300 students enrolled. The school spirit enhanced school activities, and there were many clubs and activities!” According to Mr. Setian, we still have some of the same prob- lems now that students had then, such as the parking problem. However, there was much less vandalism and destruction of other people’s property. Students were concerned much more about their grades. Mr. Grimaldi, Class of 1956 “Tech was a school of which all of its students were proud. We excelled in athletics and academic achievements. There were science fairs and variety shows. A great number of students were attending Tech from surrounding communities, and there was a greater rivalry among students for academic achievement. There was less tardiness, absenteeism, scholastic failure and discipline problems. There was respect for teachers, property and individ- ual rights.” Mr. Follett, Class of 1958 Mr. Follett was a member of the Football team and is pleased to add that he paid his Class dues. What was Tech like then? “Great!!! Kids were well behaved, would not DARE to talk back to a teacher. Absentee bulletins were short, maybe having 10 names on them. For the most part, everyone was here to get an education. You were expected to do homework, and you did it.”’ : Mr. Wallace, Class of 1960 “Tech was a much larger school in 1960 with over 2,000 students. We only had two lunch periods, and eating in the allowed time was a problem. The absent list was much shorter in 1960, and it seems to me that there was a lot more to do in school like clubs and Talent Shows. All major sports events, like Basketball, Football and Hockey events were sell-outs. Fewer students had jobs, so we had time to go to all the games. This made for a closer student body.” Mr. Melikian, Class of 1961 There were absolutely no behavior problems at any of these school events. While the student of today is boggled trying to remember what room to report to for detention, the student of 1961 had no such problem-there was only one room. As for people always being in the hallways during classes, no such thing occurred then. There were over 2,000 students attending Tech at the time. The absentee list was about 1 3 of what it is now. Hardly anyone flunked, what was especially good was that if you wanted to attend a college, and you said that you attended Tech, you were accepted. Tech was a highly accredited high school. Mrs. Metzidakis, Class of 1968 “Tech was much different then. Students would pass from class to class in three minutes, with pencils in hand and seated when the bell rang. I never head the word ‘detention’ mentioned in the three years that I was here. If students had detention, they were probably too ashamed to mention it. Although every class had a clown or two, they knew when to stop and get down to work. There were no extreme classroom disciplinary problems. Parents instilled the belief that an education was necessary in order to get ahead. Since education was considered to be a privilege rather than a right, students set their goals high and met challenges.” Mr. Kiah, Class of 1969 “Tech was nothing like it is today. There were more students. People had much more pride in academic and athletic achievements. It hurts to see conditions as they are now, when one experienced a much better situation as a student then. There should be a new school, to rebuild our image and spirit.” While at Tech, Mr. Kiah participated in Varsity Soccer, Hockey, Baseball and Student Patrol. He was also the Sports Editor for TECH NEWS. He was popular and active. And in three years, he only missed one day which, by his own aamission, happened because he skipped!!! 89 FRESHMAN REPRESENTATIVES: Pamela White, Todd Culhane, Doris Neale SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS: Mary Waterman, Secretary; Marcia Van- horn, Treasurer; Chris Dassaso, Vice-President; Absent: President Gloria Jones ba UNDERCLASSMEN ‘T JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Andrea Ware, Secretary; Lorita McNeil, Presi- dent; Marla Early, Vice President; Pete Rivas, Treasurer Mr. Donati Freshman Advisor Mr. Grace Junior Advisor Miss Burke Junior Advisor Miss Cormack Sophomore Advisor Mr. DiDomenico Junior Advisor Mr. Dooley Sophomore Class Auditor Mr. R.
