and FRANK MANCIERI. They invented lovely sundaes that contain hot dogs. It tastes better than it sounds. The scene changes hut 1 still sec the ocean. Ah, it’s a swimming meet. Thousand of people line the shore to watch the many contestants. A blonde girl in a white bathing suit is just diving off the highest spring board. It's PEGGY' SISSON, champion long distance swimmer and holder of many diving titles. She came into national prominence by swimming from Providence to Bristol on a dare and in the meantime broke a record. Now, she’s getting along “swimmingly.” JOSEPH BROWN has joined the Marines. He can’t anchor any place, it seems. He’s a first lieutenant, now. Previous to his embarking on a nautical career, he rode cross-country on a bicycle and nearly fell over the Grand Canyon. He saved himself though. JOE CIRILLO has become the “Bulletin’s” leading cartoonist. Where formerly Nehi reigned, now it’s “Too High” but we all know it’s Joe. LOUIS DE FELICE has become a lawyer and has he been winning cases? He is famous for his oratory and recently in a breach of promise suit brought about a surprising climax by marrying “the chorine” who was the defendant in the case. Now my crystal clouds again but soon clears. Ah, a kindergarten and what sweet children! But where is the teacher? A school room without a teacher? Oh, there she is! SYLVIA PAGNAXO. no wonder I couldn’t see her. She’s not bigger than the tots she teaches. This is a surprise. She’s the last person in the world I ever thought would be a teacher. According to my crystal, WAYNE SMITH owns some famous kennels. In them he breeds Siberian Cheese-Hounds that are famous all over the country. Over each kennel is a monogram of a piece of cheese. Now my crystal clouds again. This time when it clears it discloses a marvelous piece of engineering—a bridge across the Atlantic Ocean constructed and designed by a classmate, WENDELL MARSHMANN. Wendell bought the ocean, nearly causing a war between Europe and America, and now he charges a terrific toll for persons going across. Of course, every now and then there is a hotel where tourists can put up for the night. But it would probably be just as cheap to go by boat. Anyway, a mechanical marvel has been accomplished, and by a wonderful engineer. CHARLES REED is chief Boy Scout of the country, or Head Master or whatever you call the leader of all Boy Scouts. ALICE VARGAS is the piano player in Eddie Duchin’s Orchestra and MARY RUSSO and EMILY CARMOXE have joint ownership of the Pastime. Every Wednesday .they serve ice cream in the theater and you should see the rushing business they have. ALEC. MURRAY' owns a chain of “5 and 10 cent stores” and MICHAEL PARISI is a traveling salesman. HELEN OLIVER gives dancing lessons and ROSE CAMPAGNA is somebody’s stenog., or rather private secretary to Henry Ford, VIII. JOE SOUSA and MANUEL SOUSA have joint ownership of a farm with all the modern devices including a milk-wagon which doesn’t awaken people at four o’clock in the morning. All my classmates have been successful and I’m glad to have seen them all. Gazing re-luctanly for the last time, 1 see once again my former classmates of 1935 all living a live of good will and prosperity. RUTH KERR, ’35. WILL OF THE CLASS OF 1935 We, the members of the Class of 1935 of the Colt Memorial High School in the County of Bristol, State of Rhode Island, United States of America being of sound and capable minds, G RE E N mndL W 01D ¥ E- 30

time a ping-pong tournament is in progress. DOROTHY KLEIN and HOWARD BENNETT, tlie national champions who have both risen to fame, have been challenged by JOSEPH DORAN and MARY CORREIA, the champions of Scotland. You can see the game is going to be close. The two couples certainly wield mean rackets. And what a tiny ball! Awfully inconvenient. Sorry I can’t stay to see who wins. Oh, how awful! My dear classmates, I am about to tell you a sad story. One of our beloved classmates has been unfortunate enough to have the worst possible fate befall him. I’m sure you all join me in expressing sympathy for poor RUSSELL BULLOCK. My friends. he-he,-has become a—radio comedian. As my crystal sees him. now, he is broadcasting on the Mcllo Hoftir and telling a brand new jokc anyways it’s new to him. It goes like this : “Who was that lady I saw you with last night?” Need I tell you the rest? Anyway, the scene changes and I see two flagpoles. At the top of one, ANDREW PAN-SA is impatiently sitting, while EDWARD NUNES sits on the other. These two are deadly rivals for the crown of champion flagpole sitter. They have been sitting there for three months, two weeks five days, and thirteen hours. I’d like to know who will win. They are both contemplating each other thoughtfully. I hate to think of what will happen when a big heavy wind comes along. The scene changes and here I see a doctor’s office. Dr. MANUEL BENTO’S office. He has developed a cute mustache and is awfully efficient-looking. He is a famous heart specialist and that’s as it should be for Manuel. His nurse is DORA BAILEY. She is also competent-looking. in fact, she is quite expert at the art of feeling pulses. This scene soon disappears and now I sec another doctor’s office. But this time it’s an optometrist, an eye doctor in the person of DOMENIC CAPONE. His patients arc mostly of the fairer sex. But that isn’t saying enough for Domenic’s ability. He has studied long at the art of looking into eyes and has his diploma and a large practice. Hmni—Another of the small town boy’s makes good. The scene changes and is replaced by a schoolroom. The professor is JOSEPH BORGES and his subject is Latin Caesar too! Right across the hall in the same school is a French class ruled over by PASQUALE PAN-ZARELLA. These two famous linguists are certainly in their element for each shone in the said languages. Next my crystal discloses VIRGINIA GAFFNEY who is married AND HAS two little newsboys in the family. Just chips off the old block! Also, VIOLA LECLERC is married to Derry Vorro and lives in a beautiful modernistic house. It’s black and silver on the outside. You know, Viola is a famous interior decorator. Now the scene changes to a musical comedy on Broadway. The chorus is going through its intricate steps. The girls are all very beautiful, in fact Walter Winchell says this has been the most beautiful chorus ever seen in New York, or anywhere for that matter. Who is the beauty on the end? Why, of course! CONCETTA FASANO! and the girl on her right, MARY CASTRO. Mary that shy timid little thing. And that tall blond in the center, why it’s ANNA ROMANO and next to her is red-headed ALICE FERREIRA! ! How times have changed and especially hair! The crystal next shows that JOSEPH BRUNO has become a famous football coach. Among his best athletes is the most famous halfback JOSEPH PARELLA. Jt was all uphill work for Parclla but he made the grade. Now the scene changes to a drug store. VINCENT CAMPAGNA owns it and his chief soda jerkers are CARMINE CARRATURO GREEN amdL WD1 DTE- 29
