Everyone is waiting for the big day, Berlin has been chosen as the ideal town in the United States. It has been so well developed that it contains all the qualifications of an ideal town. The President of the U. S. is going to make a dedication to our town during the annual Berlin Fair. The President's secretary, Victoria Godek, has made reservations at Richard Carlson's hotel for that week. Grace Firnhaber, our local representative in the Senate, is very proud of her town and is accompanying the President on his trip here. Jerry Beilman, the Berlin Fair Chairman, has made the announcement that the President will make his speech just before Bob Guite, the famous balloon ascension artist, will perform his daring act. Bob Guite's manager, Bob Quarello, states that his act will go on sometime around 3:00 P.M. Superintendent of Schools Shirley Kellum has made the announcement that schools will be closed during the week of the fair. Her secretary, Joan Potash, will arrange the bus transportation for all students who need it. Our school bus drivers, Art Conger and Everett Hill, will drive the students to the fair. Fire Chief Ralph Palumbo has requested that the town use all precautions at the fair grounds for any slight negligence on the part of the people will mean sure disaster. Chief of Police Charles Heckler states that traffic will be congested unless everyone cooperates and takes his time. Ronald Kaszycki who owns the famous club in town. The Club Zombie, has donated his floor show which consists of Edmond Cooney's Band, better known as Feets Boogie Woogie Band , and Frances Treichel, his singer, to the fair's entertainment. Norman Margnelli, the spectacular juggler, will also perform. Charles Crowell, voted the most valuable player on the Yankee Team, will sign his name on any baseballs for a small donation to the town's Park Department headed by Nancy Dyer. Edie Munson, supervisor of the town children's nursery, will have a place for all the mothers who wish to leave their children with her. Her tent will be located at the south end of the fair. But the children must not exceed the age limit of 12 as they'll be taller than she is. Our radio station WOW will broadcast the dedication from the fair. John Seibert, the radio announcer, will introduce the President right after the singing commercial by Ellen Pipkin and Shamiram Pera, the famous singing duet. They are sponsored by Lee Daigle's reducing school. The station may be found at 1950 on your dial. Elections will be held just before the fair. Faith Baldwin is running against Bob Roche for mayor. It is their first time up for election. You can see their campaign pictures in all the biggest stores of business in town, Alkas' Variety Store and Fiori's Photography Studio, The Wisharts have opened rival drug stores; Gilbert is supporting Roche and Walter is supporting Faith in the campaign. Whoever wins the election will present the key of the town to the President. Jean Lamoureux, a famous lawyer, is now defending Marilyn Orcutt, who invented the muffler for sneezing. She sold her invention to Barbara Johnson, who is a librarian and needs something like the muffler to muffle her sneezing in the quiet zones of the library. It seems that it didn't work and now she is suing Marilyn for damages. Robert Pipkin is prosecuting attorney and Doug Lowell is judge. Florence Mazzali's cooking school, which is located in the center of town, will run the restaurant at the fair. Hot meals will be served daily. Farmer Dave McCain, who now owns most of the farms around here, has donated most of the food to Florence's cooking school. Bob Griffith who is now the new Buick dealer will have on display the 1960 Buicks and will exhibit his own 1935 Buick. He will show the progress made and the many new devices which bring more riding comfort, such as television and jet propulsion. The Toni Company has a stand at the fair. The main attraction is the Toni twins, John Adamson and Donald Masselle. Can you guess which twin has the toni? The town is exceptionally proud of its Memorial Hospital. The nursing staff is headed by Margie Maitz. Their booth will demonstrate the art of first aid. Mary D'Amico who has been quite active in the supervising of teen-age groups will give a speech on How to Stop your Teen-Age Daughter from Giggling. This will be given at the Memorial Hospital booth. Joe Villella, who is now warden at Wethersfield Prison, has consented to let the prison team play an exhibition baseball game with the local team. Professor Willard Avery, is supervisor of the English department of the local high school and he will hand out pamphlets on Better English for Better Living. He is a firm believer that slang will get you nowhere. Moving pictures will be taken at the fair and will be shown the following week at the Main Street Theater owned by Gloria Theberge. To add to the charm of the theater are the usherettes whose captain is Cynthia Deming. Their striking uniforms were designed by Kathleen Luby, proprietoress of Madame Luby's Dress Shop. Bob Seaburg and Carol Griggs have taken over the Arthur Murray Dancing Studio in town. With the consent of Lois Rakowski, principal of the Grammar School, they will teach the students ballroom dancing. Mary Lou Jorsey, the local dentist, will give fluorine treatments free of charge to all children at the town Health Clinic. One of the many attractions is Miss America who will be at the fair one day during the week. The town is especially proud, as it is Charlene Smith, a local girl. The town is very sorry that another one of its famous personalities will not be able to attend the fair as she is now attempting to swim the English Channel. Who is it, but none other than Muffy Wessels. Frances Nifosi, who is now a high pressure saleswoman, is traveling from door to door trying to sell Christmas cards. She never could get out of the habit of selling cards as that was her main task in school. Sallie Johnson has now taken over the Howard Johnson restaurants throughout the country and is famous the world over for the Johnson Sundae. She will be at the fair and will demonstrate to the people the art of making this sundae. Regina Schnitzke, the world famous Stenographer who has acquired a speed of 260 words a minute, will give a speech to the high school students on the importance of shorthand in the business world. Eleanor Simons, representing the Lioness' Club, can be seen riding around town in a radio car announcing the coming of the Fair. June Knopf is editor of the Berlin Buzz which is noted for its famous advice for the lovelorn column written by Eleanor Yale. The horse show will be sponsored by Bertha Ventres. It will feature a specialty act in which Marilyn Carlson, the famous trick artist, will star. Berlin is ever grateful to the class of 1950 for their faithful and generous work in making this ideal town possible. Signed by Florence Mazzali Marilyn Orcutt UNDERCLASSMEN Adviser.......

With five members of the first eleven injured at onetime, and three who could not finish the season, Berlin High fought hard, but to no avail. Many of the candidates who finished the season should not have dressed, being hampered by injuries. Going up against such powerful class B opponents as Wallingford and Rockville and such highly tooted Class C as Farmington, the Berlin High School football team were able to win only a single game. The record of the Berlin High eleven was as follows: Wallingford Rockville Griswold Plainfield 0 — 25 Alumni 0 — 26 0 — 28 Simsbury 0 — 7 13 — 25 Canton 6—0 0—13 Farmington 0 — 51 IfXfiVi BASKETBALL The Berlin High School Basketball team after starting the season by winning four of its first six games, slipped miserably toward the middle of the season and ended the season with an unimpressive eight wins against ten defeats. Although they failed to qualify for the tournament, a number of their games were lost by five points or less. With only one senior on this year's starting five, the prospects for the next season look bright. The record is as follows: We They We They Bloomfield 19 44 Farmington 35 39 East Hampton 35 22 East Hampton 35 46 Windsor Locks 28 44 Windsor Locks 54 44 Glastonbury 44 33 Glastonbury 50 55 Canton 54 39 Canton 54 39 Portland 35 27 Farmington 36 39 Suffield 24 36 Portland 55 29 Simsbury 32 67 Suffield 55 36 Bloomfield 36 48 Simsbury 62 50 BASEBALL With many promising candidates and a handful of letter men returning the Berlin High aggregation will be striving to regain the championship it won two years ago. With an eleven game schedule facing the locals, including a few games against class B opponents, the schedule will be a stiff one. It is as follows: April 28 Goodwin Tech. A May 1 Canton A May 5 Simsbury A May 8 Bloomfield H May 11 East Hampton A May 15 Portland H May 18 Windsor Locks A May 19 Goodwin Tech.
