Class $ropf)ec| The year 1980. The place — Berlin, Connecticut. The characters — the un- predicable class of 1955 of Berlin High School. The occasion — a television show in order to bring the members of that class together. Bill Goodison and Carol John- son, famous reporters are our commentators. The eyes of our camera first stop down Florida way, where we see that nature boy, Roman Abramskl, operating a trading post in the Everglades. A short trip brings us to Miami, where Ronnie Steurer presides over a mammoth hotel and fun resort, with Frances Prince, his wife, working as a cook in the hotel. Into the hotel walk Dorothy Kemp and Cathy Cheatham, covered with diamonds and monstrous mink coats. Through the crowd, can be seen the new hairdos fashioned by Judy Bardoorian and Diane Squillacote, hair stylists. They came to see the night’s enter- tainment which included the Bussell and Warren Jazz Band, featuring Be Bop Rivers McCalop, famous New Orleans blues singer. Later in the evening, the ballroom was graced by the presence of the mayor, John O’Connell; With Mr. O’Connell was his special body guard, Roger Schwinderwolf. Time passes on, so we take our leave of Florida and scan the states once again. Our next stop is Texas, and we see millionaire cattle rancher, Jack Tomasi riding the range. Working for him on his ranch are Paul Brunette, Denis Smith, and Dave Norrie, three famous bronc busters. Farther away is another large estate — a turkey farm run by Hartson Weber, who doubles as a Studebaker mechanic. As we ap- proach the Rio Grande River, we see steamboat captain Vic Babe” DiSarro pilot- ing a cargo of Bob Parzych’s special vanilla extraction on its way. Our next stop is also on the water — the New England coast. The fishing schooner Chooch” owned and piloted by Sea Dog Pete Schoech, is preparing to take two deep sea sportsmen, Tom McCain, sardine canner and Don Polanski, sea gull breeder, to get their annual catch. While we are in New England, we stop in Boston to see Eddie Woods, who manufactures baked beans. Still in New England we stop at Fran Fieber’s Pizza Palace where Anita Johanns gives us fast service. High above us in a passenger plane, Pat Radda, air line hostess, serves coffee to her passengers which include movie star, Jan Masselle, Pat Munson, jet pilot, and Ray Enstam, 7-Star General. We leave and arrive in Pennsylvania, where Wells Johnson, a coal miner, comes up from the mines to greet us. Joan Guite, a bus driver, takes us into Phila- delphia where Dotty Merritt is patching the crack in the Liberty Bell. Pat Donnelly, famous fashion designer, takes us through her shop, where models Doris Siepel and Sweet Rosy” Valenti are displaying the latest items. 20
