They proceeded up the dura-plastic ramp to the Minute-Jet, one of the planes belonging to the airline known by its famous motto, One minute here, one minute there. Miss Louise Sokolowski, a stewardess whose appearance exemplified the clean, aero- dynawic design of the supersonic transport, showed the old friends of hers to their seats. Billy Bolles, the steward, a handsome, educated man, well-fitted to serve the distinguished clientele of the airline, lifted the suitcases bearing the stencils HML and NYB onto the above rack. For the next sixty seconds the conversation went almost as fast as the Mac- Laughlin-designed plane. Guess who the pilot is? He ' s our woman-hater, Phil Stockwell. He babies this plane as it it were the Miss Glamour Tomasi of Hollywood, wistfully said Bill. The co-pilot is the first woman airplane pilot in the history of aviation. Just think Jeanne Ross started her career in transportation by driving Motif Club girls to food sales, added Lou. Who designed the sleek uniform you ' re wearing, Lou? asked Nancy. You mean you haven ' t seen the exclusive clothes designed by Miss Bett Lou? The classic story told about our Firnhaber says that she took a dozen Turkish towels and draped them around a model. Immediately the Duchess of Windsor walked into the X KLU SIEVE SHOP and said, as the Miss Bett Lou added a few more safety pins, It ' s stunning. I ' ll take it. Phil and Jeanne joined the gabbers, having left the plane in control of the automatic pilot. Remember the mysterious deaths that occurred on the Minute-Jets a few months ago? The CAA authorities investigated but exposed only Don Ulkas, the greasemonkey who stowed away on the New York trip. Only once was there more than one or two passengers per trip that month— the time Claire Padelli, Hanna Badal, Peggy Ringwood, Elsie Buxton, Margaret Kelsey, Jean Woods, Emily Repczynski, Florence Nalewjeck, and Anne Negrini requested that a plane with a crew of Berlinites fly them to the national conference of the Honorary Now Housewife But Former Secretary Club of which Rita Beaulieu is president. There were no unexplained casualties that trip. The next trip another customer was supplied for the Read, Lewis and Johnson Funeral Service and the Seaburg Gravediggers Corporation. Patricia, Gould, president of the Minute-Jet Airline decided to appeal to Bruce Mahan, the doctor nationally known for the results of his hobby, studying the composition of moonbeams. His findings have relieved the minds of bachelors, Larry Beilman and Robert Reeve, disturbed by their moonlight reveries. George Russell and his assistant Betty Cable, ace photograpers for the Gab Fest took a picture of the Ouchitis, the death-dealing insect which Bruce revealed. Dave Larson, editor-in-chief of the Gab Fest, the leading paper of the Met-opolis of Berlin, wrote a fiery editorial acclaiming the efficiency of the airlines in dispensing of all discomforts (The Minute-Jet Airline pays all funeral expenses of its victims.) Nan suggested to her colleague, the sports writer Ed Saroka, that he endorse the Minute-Jet Airline as the only way for the Poppel ' s All Hitters Baseball Team starring Slugger Cen- turelli and Benchwarmer Barbara Repczynski, to appear on time at the 1969 World Series. 26 After these endorsements, the Minute-Jet Airline managed to get out of the red. Among the many passengers we ' ve had in the last few months were: Barbara Knowles, Sophie Valentni, Barbara Bentley, Pauline Schnitzke and Barbara Bentley, owners of the Secretary Lap Service; Russ McCain, now a kindly and understanding pastor. I ' ve heard that Mac entices little boys to Sunday School with a promise of forming a football team, said Miss Lynch. Jo Tinti, the most invaluable member of the United Nations, is known as the most successful peacemaker ever to use the wiles of her sex for a good purpose, said Jeanne. Speaking of crusaders, Louise Lund is conducting a campaign to place a horse in every garage. She believes that there is going to be a severe shortage of gasoline due to the fact that each family in the city of Berlin now owns three cars. Betty Lou Fleischer ' s research in the field of mob psychology has led her to a career as the world ' s greatest publicity agent. Paul Scalora ' s orchestra, The Men in the Moon, and Louis Marino, whose trumpet gushes forth liquid notes, have become the best known musicians of the century because of Betty ' s efforts. Even though the Berlinite ' s conversation had been accelerated. Nan had barely finished the last sentence when the gold ball, on the top of Berlin ' s lone skyscraper built and owned by Willis, Bunce, and Duell, contractors, reflected sunlight that caught Phil ' s eye. He and Jeanne rushed back to the controls. The plane circled slowly around the Berlin City Airport to give the passengers time to acclimate themselves to the change in speed and altitude. The plane whooshed onto the runway. A taxi from O ' Connell ' s, the taxi service staffed with pretty drivers, rushed all the Berlinites, including the aeronauts whose working day was over, to their destination. There they were welcomed by Charles Vigra, principal of Berlin High School. Charlie ' s freshmen claim that while he was at college, Charlie missed bossing Berlin High so much that he just had to make it his life ' s work. Trailing Charlie with her little notebook, was Simonne Boisvert, Charlie ' s long suffering secretary. Syl Jones, physical education teacher at B.H.S. bounded up to the group and slapped everybody on the back. The group exchanged notes as they walked toward a platform around which a crowd of 2,000 people had gathered. Have you ever been to the Set- ' em-Up-Bar Ranch owned and managed by Eddie Reynolds? I spent my last vacation there, and saw Rita Roy, who is the official hostess at the ranch and Ray Reynolds who was home on leave. ' Billy ' s ' a tough top kick in the Army wearing quite a few hash marks. One morning I got up early enough to catch a glimpse of the milkman jolting over the dirt road. The words on the side of the truck were ' Raineault Dairy, Producers of the Elixer of Life. ' I looked again as the truck disappeared over the treetops. Farmer Bill certainly is progressive. The truck boasting of folding wings was an aero-transit, said Syl, just as the nine joined the cheering mob surrounding the red, white and blue draped speaker ' s platform. Dignified Charles Vigra, introduced the darling of the proletariat, the speaker of the day. William Lane, United States senator and a presidential nominee, cleared his throat and started to deliver the most brilliant speech of his career. Mr. Lane ' s elocution re-dedicated the new-school twenty years after the completion of the gem of the Berlin township, still the most modern and complete instrument of education in the country. The cornerstone was first laid a year after the class of 1948 graduated. Every loyal alumnus of the Berlin High School listened with proud heart to the Rededication Speech. 27 CLASS WILL We the graduating class of 1948 of Berlin High School, being of sound mind and pur- pose, and knowing that we must pass on to higher accomplishments, do hereby devise and publish this our last Will and Testament.

The Redcoats, ably coached by Mr. William A. Gibney and Mr. Arthur Kevorkian, wound up their seven game season with an unblemished record. They picked up a total of 1 19 points to the opposition ' s 24. After opening their season against a formidable array of Alumni stars with a close 12-6 victory, the Redcoats found the going a little tougher when they met American School for the Deaf. They managed to tuck away victory number two by a 6-0 margin, how- ever. New Canaan was Berlin ' s next foe. They were turned back by a 25-6 score. The Redcoats breezed past Canton to the tune of 32-6. Following this breather the Red and Blue reaped their biggest harvest in Plain- field with a 13-6 win. In the next game, with Simsbury supplying the opposition, a very convincing 25-0 triumph was tallied. The Redcoats ended up by polishing off Griswold High of Jewett City 6-0. A. Johnson, Co-Captain; D. McCain, R. Fiori, G. Cable, J. Ulkus, R. McCain, Co-Captain; D. Clark. Backfiield; P. Kornichuck, P. Tinsley, L. Beilman, and C. Focaretto. BASKETBALL The 1947-1948 season was one of the finest ever experienced by the Redcoats. Under the able super- vision of William A. Gibney and Roy Fabian, the Berlin five qualified for the CIAC Class C tournament for the second time in the school ' s history. In the tourna- ment Berlin easily trounced Woodstock Academy, but was beaten in their second game by a highly favored Morgan High of Clinton. The season ' s record of 11-8 might have been improved had the breaks been with Berlin more fre- quently. The Redcoats lost three hard fought contests against highly favored teams by two points or less. Despite the fact that three of the first five were seniors, Berlin may look forward to a successful sea- son for many promising first year men were uncovered.
