The March of Time Episode I September, 1955 A group of gay, irresponsible youths gazed at a new world--a stage whose curtain Time had flung wide open so that we, New Faces of 1955, might come into our own as the Class of 19593 However, due to the division of our Company into two parts--one to work in the morning on the senior high's lot, and the other to work dur- ing afternoon on that of the junior high--the breaks did not come our way- We could not organize, though Time marched on--through the school year 1955-36. Episode II September, 1936 Lady Luck smiled. We were transferred from behind the scenes to the sophomore lot. We could now stage our drama in earnest. With Thomas Brodeur as director, John Mazur in the capacity of assistant director, Sophie Gajewski as the press agent, and Mitchell Ziemba handling the box office receipts, the Class of '39 became the understudies to the feature players, the junior class. And Time--enexhorable Time--marched through the second year 1936-37. Episode III September, 1957 We will always remember the 1937-38 season fondly, for it was then that we actually appeared behind the footlights. We put on a novelty performance. For the first time in years, a girl was elected to direct the show--Dorothy Brown. Sophie Gajewski and John Mazur were retained in their former parts as press agent and assistant director, and Leona Sorrell was selected to take charge of the box office receipts. Our first act was the Junior Harvest Dance on Friday, November 19, 1957. Act two consisted of choosing class rings (our success was now as- sured, and we could consider conservative spending) and selecting silver and green for our colors. In the third act, the annual Oratorical Contest, Dorothy Brown came near to stardom when she won third prize. Finally in act four, on June 10, we reached the climax of our per- formance; we gave the graduating class the most successful promenade in the school's history. The highlight of that eventful evening came when our director, Dorothy Brown, was chosen Queen of the Prom! And on--on past this triumph marched Time! Episode IV September, 19358 Bang!--That is the hurricane and the class of 19359 crashing into stardom! With John Mullarkey as our director, Thomas Brodeur as his as- sistant, Stanley Galeziowski conducting our finances, and Sophie Gajewski still the press agent, we knew that we would have an all-hit season. On Nov. 4, the school was invited to meet us in the Senior awing Session at which one of our own company Howard Hare, led his Bunnies in providing the music. In February we held a Senior Valentine Party. Dorothy Brown wonfirst prize in the Preliminaries of the Orator- icals and second prize in the Valley Wheel Contest. In June, dressed as kids and sucking big red lollipops, we turned back Time for one brief day and were children again. On June 13 Class Night, we met for the last time, in an informal group, to review our history and carry out the tradition of planting the ivy. Then--June 14! We seniors, 102 strong, heads high, hearts eager and brave, took our bows to our public and received the fruits of our work--a diploma! The critics had approved of us. From now on we shall strive to succeed on Life's Stage--the whole wide World! We're Finished yet beginning! Time Marches On}

PREVIEWS Click! The new time-bridging projector recently invented by STANLEY GALEZIOWSKI starts, and we see on the screen a news-reel that will be news in 1959! The X L Producing Company presents Ludlow Movietone News . At the Floyd Bennett Airport in New York we see FRANCIS BOURCIER after a round-the-world flight greeted by the reporters ELLA MAE GAUDREAU and MARY RODRIQUES. There is our own photographer, STEVEN LUDKIEWICZ, snapping pictures of the hero and the enormous crowd. The airplane used in this flight was designed by VALENTY NIETUPSKI, CHESTER PAINE, and EDWARD DANFORTH, the aeronautical engineers at the airport. In Chicago at the Artists' Convention EDWARD ZIENCINA has just been chosen by FRANK SZCZEPANSKI, the president of the Artist's Association, to succeed Walt Disney in Disney and Company, and RUTH GAUDREAU is pre- sented the first prize for her painting The Easter Parade. The judges were ANNE DEL MASTRO, CHARLOTTE DUDEK, and NORMAN HUTCHESON. The great bass singer, LIONEL BOURCIER, is shown arriving from Paris, France, on the Normandy. He is to appear at the Metropolitan Opera House with the American prima donna, IRENE ALMEIDA. Accompanying him is his booking agent, JESSE HENRIQUES. On the same steamer HELEN RACHMACIEJ and ALGY SHAMEKLIS have just returned after spending five years exploring the African jungles and studying the habits and customs of the African tribes- men. In the big municipal auditorium of Denver, Colorado, we are shown a benefit performance sponsored by STELLA SIOK, the superintendent of the State Hospital, and her staff, MARY COSTA, MARY FERNANDES, DOROTHY BROWN, CLAIRE FOURNIER, ANNA SILVA, and ERMINA SILVA. The show is to raise the funds to enlarge the hospital. The world-famous jitterbug dancer, HAROLD BASSETT, and the second Eleanor Powell, JEANNE VALADE, are the main at- tractions. Also on the program are STELLA STEBBINS, the world's greatest yodeling cowgirl; and LENA TARASKY, professional roller-skater. Who is leading that jazz band of pretty girls? Why, JOSIE ZIENCINA. In a crowded court room in New Haven we hear JOHN GAVIGLIO plead Not Guilty to a breach of promise suit. STANLEY BURKOT, the attorney for the plaintiff, seems sure of the verdict as he addresses Judge HOWARD HARE and the jury consisting of MANUEL VAS, ANGELO CARROLO, JOSE FONSECA, JULIA CIEPLINSKI, CELESTE FERNANDES, and LAURINDA FIECHA. Next we see a flash of the contest given by the American Hairdress- er's Association of which LEONA SORRELL is the president. First place goes to RITA SANTINI. BRUNILDE FOCOSI, Miss Santini's model, has her hair piled high in a crown effect. Others competing in the contest are HELEN LEWICKI, FLORENCE BEAUREGARD, and ANNA CAIRNS. Out West tourists are shown getting a chance to visit the dude ranch owned by VIRGINIA DOSTAL and BETTY JANE WOOD. What good-looking guides and instructors! There are JOSEPH GURSKI, the famous horse-back rider, MARGARET BORTHWICK, the world s champion woman swimmer, and, yes, it is, ANTHONY SALETNIK, the guide who can never lose himself. Flash! We see the launching of a new showboat designed by MITCHELL ZAGRANICZNY. It has every modern convenience, even an up-to-date beauty salon under the direction of PAULINE CASAGRANDA with her two expert hair- dressers, HELEN CMIEL and AMELIA DIAS. Small children will also be able to enjoy the trip because RUTH CULVER and LUCILLE HASWELL, capable nurses,
