HOMEROOM 102 Mr. Edward Donahue and Homeroom Representative Penny Daniels. The morning bell rings and Davey Espir.dle makes his usual graceful en- trance with Mike Di Geronomo close behind. Everyone is seated except for a few strollers like Gail Dolan who is at either Dick Cullman ' s seat or Steve Connelly’s with that same old morning gossip. Marty Cohen leads us in a minute of meditation and Gene Doughty follows with the Pledge of Allegiance. Next come the usual interruptions: Tommy Doherty and Diane Chuldzinski make their grand entrance. The Elchook twins decide to hold a conference with Carol Delpero, Caren Comora, and Kathy Emmett who just happened to be on the other side of the room at the time. Occasionally, our efficient homeroom representative,, Penny Daniels, who has been taking elocution lessons from our V . P., Carol Drinkwater, is called upon to make a speech. She does very well as far as she goes. One of these days she might even get to finish one before the bell rings. Our homeroom, like many others, con- tains victims of that infectious disease “yak-itis”. They include Juhn Dullea, little Harvey Dupont, and, of course, Melinda Deveaux who always manages to shout a few words down to Gay Cor- prnti at the other end of the room. There are also a few, such as Maureen Driscoll. Sue Davidson, and Mike Col- lins, who seem to be plagued with lock- jaw. This lockjaw is a scientific first because all of the symptoms disappear on the way to first period; wonder why? We have decided on a few changes in our homeroom. Since Jimmy Cham- pigny is always facing the back of the room, we will turn his desk in that di- rection. That way, he will have a much better view of Harry Climenson’s beau- tiful blue eyes and Robert Cosman’s blond hair. We are also going to move Vickie DelVecchio and Willy Drew to the front of the room so they can see the whole class at once. We will partition off a special corner so that Sue De- meritt, Caroline Espinola, and Linda Falkingham can hold their discussions without being disturbed. We think Rick Curris would like to have his seat moved closer to the door so he can ob- serve the attendance slips — or is it the girl who collects them? There are a few seats we won t have to change. Pete Dillaway and Mike Downey seem rather pleased witli theirs. What’s the story, boys — could it be Debbie Dono- van’s remarkable personality or Maddie Duprey’s red hair? Some members of our class have a few questions: John Daly wonders why Bruce Dick doesn ' t do his own physics homework. Nancy Craigen wonders what’s in those little notes Judy Cohen keeps passing. Harold Colotli would like to know which day is Joe Cronin’s real day off. Marlene Currier wonders what Pat Cruddas sees in underclassmen. Mr. Donahue wonders about the whole class. In conclusion, we would like to men- tion three remarkable classmates, Sue Cook, Harvey Cohen and Cindy Driscoll. They, like the rest of us, will never forget all the fun we have had in homeroom 102.
