Wright CLASS PROPHESY Dear You: I thought you would like to hear about our class reunion held today. Since everyone loves a circus we decided to carry out the reunion in that form. Much of its success was due to the publicity given it by the Eddy Advertising agency. The grounds were very attractive. All construction work was under the direction of Ed Zink, Burl Yates and Harold Hildebrand. While John Kandre and G. Imer furnished all electric equipment. The lumber was donated by the Millard-Ossana Lumber Co. The food was splendid, what you naturally expect when supplied by the M. 8: M. resturants. Martha Johnson and Mary Kefalos have a small chain of restaurants now and the fame of their chef, John Romanoski, is rapidly growing. The girls were ably assisted by some of their staff, namely: Irene and Kitty Brumback, Zelda Gorsuch and Rose Mary Milhorn. The first aid tent was a complete hospital under the care of Drs. Robert Harmon and Jack Huggins. The nurses were Betty Gherasin, Cecile Andraskik, Alma Laurent and Mary Helen Pavilkey. They also had a comfortable nursery where the mothers could leave their small children. I saw Eolene Griffith, E. Kohutek, R. Bartella and E. Haminski leaving here, laughting over some of their children's cute tricks. William Kozel and Walter Grover took a day off from selling stocks and bonds to run the concession stand. Some of the entertainment was really worth while. Janice Chippe who is now in grand opera sang. She was accompanied by Philip Miller, who now arranges the music for Rev. D. Albasin in his large New York church. Fred Snoy's orchestra also furnished music. Some of these boys you will remember: C. Potter, L. Hoge, Jimmy Anthony and Bob Mitan. Anna Mae Moreland was vocalist. Joan McCaffrey's dancing is better each time I see her and the costumes are beautiful. But no wonder! They are all designed by Betty Jean Gossett. Alice Gretzinger and Reta Beabout are her assistants. Of course with such attractive models as Bessie Budd, Wilma Jobe and June Trouten-any clothes would look beautiful. Wayne Anthony, Joe Bella and Paul Winzenreid made my hair stand on end with their dare devil driving stunts. Since Milton Koher, Bill Hertler, K. Ruskin, John Hibbit, Ed Hoyo and J. Smolenak are now professional athletics they put on quite an interesting exhibition of physical prowess. Have you heard the new radio program. The 44's . They were part of our entertainment. Stars are M. Patterson, M. Huston and N. J. Gleaves. Comedy is furnished by R. Curnette and Walter Bartosek is a fine M. C. M. A. Spustek and V. Betler do their secretarial work and the scropts are written by Lucille LaMotte and Evelyn Hain. One group which seemed to be enjoying themselves very much were service men. These boys liked the life so well that they stayed in service after the war. They are Jack Harding, E. Griffith, H. Elbert U. S. A. and Richard Drewett and William Glitch, Jimmy Roberts and Dave Williams in U. S. N. CLASS PROPHESY I saw Postmaster Melvin Delbrugge talking to George Rupp the well-known hair stylist. It you want an attractive haid do go to George's . Those cute girls Glenna Baker, Betty Dolak and Helen Negroski work for him and are good advertisements themselves. The well known engineer Thos. Costello and Atty. G. Pappas were admiring the animals which were cared for by Joseph Vargo and Stuart Sykes who are now veterinarians. The best food was supplied them by the Polivka-Raies grocery. This concern is so large that they now employ six girls, Joyce Reese, Betty Turner, P. Mihelcic, E. Kasper, D. Coss and E. Majanscek-on their secretarial staff. The wholesale deliveries are under the supervision ot H. Bertram, A. Antonaizzi, James Klier, J. Perko and L. Burkhart. Just as I was leaving I met a group of girls I had not seen before. They had been busy on the stage. Shirley Criswell, J. Kowalski and M. J. Peyton were the make up artists for the performers, while I. Conrad, B. Shores and J. Rizzi were acting as wardrobe mistresses. This was a lark tor them because it was such a change from their Civil Service work in Washington. Julia Kleevic, Ruth Lash, Louise Liska and Evelyn Workman were coming in with their husbands just as I was leaving. They certainly looked happyl It really was a grand circus, but according to the way I feel tonight I really must be ten years older, than I was in '44, Jane Stilwell JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Mr. Campbell, G.

They next year they were full-fledged sophomores and with an advisory council of George Thomas, president, Glenna Fehr, vice president, Anna Lee Martin, secretary, Austin Smith, treasurer, and Rose Havlicik, social chairman, they began a series of dances, skating parties, rattles, magazine sales campaign throughout the next two years.

As we grow old we won't forget How much these things have done and yet, We had our lun as students but now we'll say goodbye. We'll remember our school as the time goes by Rushing to classes tardy-all those crazy things we've done Ahl the fun we'll miss when we're gone. We had our get together's, we had our down's and up's We tried to do our best, but now our time is up When we go out not to come back, We'll hold to us the blue and the black. bv McCaffrey and Huggins Tune of- The Things That Mean So Much To Me . fALr,6 ,DQ 6 ogg 0 ' 'u o JUNIOR CLASS PLAY 1943 Don't Take My Penny, a three-act comedy, was presented by the Junior Class on May 13 and 14, 1943.

The squad was not very large, but it had what it takes, a fighting spirit. With the loss of seven regulars to the armed torces, Bridgeport had many new and inexperienced boys this year. However, they did alright for them- selves. Injuries were iew. The bulldogs had a good season although some of the teams they played were out ot their class. They won tour, lost tour, and tied with Shadyside.

Although its organization was quite a few years ago, it had become in- active in the past tive years. Through the inspiration of Coach McClain, the varsity B Club was reborn in the autumn of 1943. An altogether new constitution was constructed by the charter members with Coach McClain as faculty advisor. The past year the B Club has sponsored a football game, a basketball game, a raffle, movie and a dance. We sincerely hope the good work will be carried on by our successors.

BASKETBALL TEAM Coach Chuck McClain had a green squad of fifteen boys of whom twc seniors, five were juniors and eight sophomores working out. Ot these only one was ai letterman, Karl Ruskin, who teamed with Don Hertler at forward, Alvin Delia, at center, Art Timberlake and Bill Hertler in the opener. Bridgeport has a tough 19 game schedule which includes the valley's top teams and in view ot the tact that Coach McClain had only one available letter- man, the l943-1944 campaign was a lean season for the Bulldogs.
