Mr. William F. Trask Although he has been here only since 1958, Bill Trask has made an impression on the student body enjoyed by few members of the administration or faculty. As Director of Placement, Bill is probably better known to the seniors than to the underclassmen, but any student who becomes acquainted with our energetic job hunter comes away with the feeling that here is a really nice guy. After receiving his A.B. from Middlebury College in 1952, Bill served in the Marine Corps for two years. He then returned to Middlebury as Assistant Dean of Men for one year. Just before coming to Tech he worked as Advertising Manager for the Addison County Independent, a local Middlebury newspaper. When the Placement Office was expanded in 1958, Dean Downing took on the full-time duties of Dean of Admissions and Bill was brought in as Placement Director. Since then his managerial ability, attention to details and, above all, his desire to help the student, have made the work of his office more and more effective each year. Bill ' s smile, his constant activity, his eagerness to help any student who asks assis- tance, and his sincere desire to make his department as effective as possible have made a lasting impression on those who know him. The success of his efforts is clearly shown each year by the large percentage of seniors who obtain challenging, productive work. We of the PEDDLER staff feel proud and grateful that a man of Bill ' s calibre has decided to devote his talents to Worcester Tech. We feel doubly honored that we are able to dedicate the 1962 PEDDLER to Mr. William Foley Trask.
