wmm M ' llr Miwilit jtMy� PREFACE “Under The Big Top’’ Our past four,years at Bulkeley have been indeed momentous, enjoyable, and certainly profitable. We have made many lasting friendships through homeroom and classroom acquaintances, extracurricular activities, and sports participation. More important, our high school years have been an eventful transition in our lives, from the seemingly far-off and youngish grammar school days to the much more mature college life and full time employment. I’m sure we all feel privileged to have been able to attend Bulkeley High with its many traditions and high standards, both scholastically and athletically. Excellent educational opportunities have been offered to us and it has been our responsibility to use them to the best advantage. The faculty, guidance department, and administration have always been ready to lend a helping hand. We hope that the knowledge and wisdom gained at Bulkeley will be of great assistance to us in our future years. This year The Circus has been chosen by the editorial board as the theme for the Maple Leaves. Although the circus has had no profound historical or patriotic significance, it is nevertheless a definite part of American life. As seniors most of us no longer view it with enthusiasm and excitement; yet as youngsters, we were all fascinated by the daredevil and heart-stopping stunts performed by the acrobats, and laughed un¬ restrainedly at the comical antics of the clowns. No one can forget the courage and forceful virility exhibited by the lion tamer, or the intelligence displayed by the well trained and disciplined bears and dogs. Thus, the many facets of the circus have easily enabled us to decorate colorfully the dividers in our book. It is these dividers that open the sec¬ tions recalling to memory the many dances, rallies, and club programs. These activities, were extremely influential in molding character, develop¬ ing a sense of responsibility, providing a means of furthering one’s in¬ terests, and adding to one’s circle of friends. Included in our pursuits were athletic activities, a prime factor in developing a sense of sportsmanship as well as self-discipline, those characteristics so vital for a successful life. Undoubtedly the Snow Frolic, Junior and Senior Prom will be the highest on our list of memorable social events. Everyone eagerly awaited these dances with the anticipation of enjoyment for all. In addition to the regular publication, the editorial board creates the Maple Leaves Supplement covering only senior activities, the last ones after four years, but certainly the most cherished. At this point we of the editorial board should like to extend our sincere thanks to our advisers, Miss Antaya and Mrs. Doerschuck, whose guidance and assistance have been invaluable in putting together this classbook; to Mrs. Fontane and the Art Board for their decorations and illustrations; to the typists who worked hard writing over the stories; to Mr. Bashour who carefully advised us throughout the planning and assembling of the classbook; to Loring Studios for their excellent pictorial coverage; and to Mr. Nelson and the Delmar Division of the Herff-Jones Company for their printing and patience in waiting for us to meet the deadlines. Faculty Page Senior Page Clubs Sports Activities Superlatives Advertisements Concluding Page Miss Janette I. Brimner This year, we the Class of 1963 are pleased to dedicate our class- book to Miss Janette Brimner, a most understanding and a co¬ operative member of Bulkeley’s guidance department. Miss Brim¬ ner has earned the respect and admiration of all at Bulkeley with whom she has come in contact. She gives freely of her time in her tireless efforts to guide the youth of Bulkeley to the college or occupation most suited to their varied individual interests and abilities. For her sincere concern in us and our future lives, we are proud to honor her with this dedication. 4 DEDICATION Mr. Cornelius A. Moylan Mr. Cornelius Moylan, respected and distinguished member of the Bulkeley faculty, serves our school in full capacity, not only as a history teacher, but also as advisor to the Honor Society. Mr. Moylan, a scholar by education, supplements his course by enrich¬ ing his students’ minds with his own additional knowledge of history and with opinions on current events. For his genuine interest in the students and his devotion to our school, we the Class of 1963 proudly dedicate our classbook to Mr. Moylan. 5 SUPERINTENDENTS Seated 1. to r. Mr. Kenneth L.

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE, 1963 The provocative question, “Where are you going?”, has been asked of many classes time out of mind. To you, instead, I pose the query, “How are you going?”. In other words, do ends justify the means? Are tradition¬ al ideals and the idea of progress incompatible ? During the past four years, we, the staff at Bulkeley, have earnestly tried not only to prepare you to set wise and challenging goals but also to give you the necessary procedural tools and patterns to achieve these goals by acceptable means. As you make your way through all of life’s highways then, hold your goals high like beacons in the sky, and pave your paths with thoughtfulness, consideration, courtesy, humility, reverence and determination. To win a single battle but then to lose a war is the ever-present danger for impetuous youth. To achieve but to destroy in the achieving leaves a hollow victory and nothing on which to build the future. As the years pass before you, many shortcuts to your goals will present themselves; some perhaps are valid, but others are pitfalls in the challenge of life. May the lessons which you have learned so well come to your aid in times of decision and may the good Lord look with favor upon your striving and follow you always. Frederick T.

LIBRARY AIDES The library aides are a volunteer group who assist the librarian in such areas as arranging bulletin boards, shelving books, filing clippings and pamphlets and working at the desk. These students give from one to five study periods a week to the library. Orderliness, reliability, honesty, a willingness to follow directions and ' maintaining a satisfactory scholastic level are stressed. Such service to the library and school is a valuable asset in the smooth functioning of our library. THE PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The Photography Club, another of Bulke- ley’s service organizations, produces and sells pictures of the basketball and football teams, takes pictures at school dances, and eai ' ries on full-scale activities to help its members become more proficient in photography.

A small group of in¬ terested boys and girls serves on a council to plan, to encourage and to coordinate these activities. The Red Cross Council is a plan¬ ning group, not a club. A new club was recently formed under the guidance of Mr. Brescia. It is comparable to the Future Nurses’ Club in membership. It is, however, opened to students of all classes and both sexes who are interested in the medical profession in its different aspects. CADUCEUS CLUB COURTESY OF DRIVER EDUCATION Driver Education is offered to students in the upper classes who wish to get a systema¬ tic and complete training in driving, both from a theory standpoint as well as with practice on the road. Each year students for this course are very numerous. THE BAND The Concert Band offers to qualified stu¬ dents an opportunity for training in the symphonic band repertoire. Membership is by competitive tryouts. The band meets three times a week and offers in addition to con¬ cert band work, opportunity in marching formation in preparation for participation in football and basketball half-time activities. FOOTBALL THE TEAM This year was a hard one for coaches Ed. Korisky and F. Karsky. With very few let- termen returning the two had a tough job training the “green” team. The Seventh Annual Capital City Jam¬ boree proved that the coaches’ efforts had been quite successful. Although the Bulldogs lost to Weaver 14-0, they made a startling return against Hartford by outscoring them 16-0. The final score was East Hartford- Bulkeley 34, Hartford-Weaver 28. Though the maroons entered the field as the “underdogs” in the first game of the season against Fitch, they proved to be at par with one of the better teams of the state. In the first quarter Fitch scored a quick Let’s Twist Again! Driving hard touchdown, but George Roslonek pushed In the game against Norwich, the Bull- through to tie the score. In the third quarter, dogs’ position was a bad one; they were on Roslonek again broke through the Fitch de- the short end of a 26-12 score. But in the fense for another touchdown. Bill Bokus put beginning of the fourth quarter an electrify- us in the lead by scoring his second two ing run of 51 yards into the end zone by points. Later, an accurate pass by Nick De- Renaldo Victoria gave the Bulkeley fans new Paolo to Mike Curcio gave the Bulldogs six hopes. With only five minutes left in the more points with Bokus adding 2 more. The game the maroons took possession of the game ended in a tie score, 24-24. ball. A man was needed to tie up the score. The Bulkeley Splendor Oops, I Tripped That man again proved to be Victoria, whose final effort ended the game in a 26-26 tie. The Bulldog offensive unit went through a crisis in the game against Hartford. Great effort was shown by the maroon defense in the first half, not allowing the Owls to score. But in the second half, Hartford finally broke through keeping the lead until the end. This year marked the beginning of a new “Turkey Day” series against the East Hart¬ ford Hornets. The beginning of the game was quite encouraging for the Bulkeley fans. In the first quarter Bill Bokus rushed through the left side for the first touchdown. Strong Defense Step aside, Sonny. Who’s pushing? They’re off! More encouraging was a pass by Greg Fortine to Mike Cur- cio which gave us a lead of 12-0. But the Hornets soon gained control of the ball scor¬ ing 26 points before the end. The Bulkeley record of 2- 4-2 does the Bulldogs no just¬ ice, Considering the fact that our coaches had to begin the season with a “green” team, We’ve got him cornered! t ttJ sisaii What now, Coach ? ? the boys certainly made a fine effort to give honor to their school. They deserve praise for their performance. With many more lettermen return¬ ing next year, Bulkeley should have a more successful year.

The Bulkeley cagers opened their seas- zano and his assistant coach, Mr. Felix Kar- on with a 57-49 loss to the East Hartford sky had only two returning lettermen to Hornets. Michael Hickey’s lightning drives work with, this 6-11 season cannot be called and Larry Murphy’s and Tim Vaughn’s re¬ bounding and shooting combination gave Bulkeley a 17 point lead in the first half, but, in spite of their ex¬ cellent performance, the Hornets’ persistence prevailed in the second half. Hi! Murphy! “let go my shirt’ Early in January Bulkeley met New Britain High and suffered a loss by a frustrating one point, 64-68. The high scorers for Bulkeley were co-captain Mike Hickey (18) and Vin Perone, a promising sophomore, (20). Bulkeley then met the Hartford Owls at Trinity Field House and al¬ most snatched a victory from them. Pete DiPietro’s fine shooting, Vince Perone’s smooth play, Larry Mur¬ phy’s fine rebounding and shooting, together with speedster Hickey’s powerful drives seemed to dominate the play in the first half, but the sec¬ ond half surprisingly proved quite different for the Bulkeley team as they finished with a disappointing 68-51 score. Bulkeley suffered two more losses, one with Norwich by 12 points (46- 34) and another one with the Hart- I just love to play alone. C’mon, give me that ball 1 No! No! It’s mine! HAIL!

This latter poor performance can partly be ex¬ plained by the loss of co-captain Mich¬ ael Hickey, who had sustained an in¬ jury, and also partly because the Bulkeley cagers lacked experience. The Bulldogs’ tables were finally turned when Coach Lou Bazzano’s constant efforts and the cagers’ un- waining high spirits closed the seas¬ on with a four game winning streak, the last victim being the East Hart¬ ford Hornets whom they repaid for our previous loss with them with an upsetting 57-39 wallop. Although the record may have been a losing one, with high scoring P. Di- Pietro, Vince Perone, and J. Molloy returning, no one can look upon the future of the Bulkeley Bulldogs with anything but real optimism. Volare! Oh! Oh! Oh! Boy! that’s Hot! Pete’s got “It”! Nice basket, Jim Murphy goes for two! SWIMMING TEAM Though the season has not been most suc¬ cessful for the Bulkeley Bullfrogs, it cannot be regarded as a bad season, for although they lost to Bristol Eastern (45-43) and to Hartford (50-37), they defeated Middletown and (this is what we are proud about) cap- It looks easy!

THE TEAM This year, Bulkeley had one of the better Cross Country teams of the past years. Un¬ der the capable leadership of the new coach, Mr. Harold (Red) Lawson, the Bulkeley team won the first team victory in the great¬ er Hartford meet. This year’s captain was Peter Holtzmeister, the best runner of the maroon squad. This tremendous performer captured three first places, one of which was the thrilling victory of the Greater Hart¬ ford meet where he was only six seconds short of the entire Greater Hartford meet record. In the initial meet of the season the Ma¬ roons overcame Hall of West Hartford and Wethersfield (24-81) and (20-35) respec¬ tively. Led by Pete Holtzmeister, winner, and Henry Link and Ron Parkyn, the Harriers The smile of Champs took three of the first four places. Out - running Fitch (25-36) and East H.

Here comes the band 130 IK CLASS ORATION “Onward and onward with heads held high Reaching for the farthest star in the sky” I feel that the concept conveyed in this quotation should remain in the minds of each and everyone of us for our future endeavors. As we step into the outside world many of us will be seeking different goals in life. The world today is a great challenge. There are many opportunities for young people, and those who possess a thirst for knowledge seem to be making the best of these opportunities. The present emphasis on education is undoubtedly greater than that of previous years, and one might even venture to say that an education is an abso¬ lute necessity in this modern day. Many people believe that a man with a college education is greatly superior to a tradesman. This certainly is not true, for a tradesman’s job is altogether different from that of an educated man. The idea which I am trying to convey has been appropriately exempli¬ fied in these words: “We must have respect for both our plumbers and our philosophers, or neither our pipes nor our theories will hold water.” Each has his own specific job; one equally as important as the other. The plumber works with his hands, whereas the philosopher employs his brain power. Without a plumber we would not have running water, and without a philosopher we would not have formal education. Thus, one realizes that the tasks of these two men are entirely in a different field. A sense of respect must be maintained for the manual worker as well as for the educated man, for in the words of John Rusin, the English author, art critic, and reformer, “All true work is sacred.” It is of the utmost importance, whatever endeavor we might pursue, that we strive for perfection and not be content with being a poor imitation. As we enter into this stage of maturity, we must not forget to fulfill the requirements of a good solid American citizen. The importance of being a good citizen can not be emphasized enough. We, the youth of America, are the nucleus of our democracy, and we should strive to maintain this democracy for our posterity. Along with the importance of good citizenship, we must be fully aware of the fact that in order to live a successful life in a democracy, one must be tolerant of other people. It is unnecessary for us to be totally gregarious, but we must be able to enjoy our fellow man. We must also realize, that whether we be conformists or non-conformists, there is a place for each of us in this first class democracy. As we look into the world today, unfortunately, the emphasis lies predominately on material gain. This is a repercussion from a utilitarian society such as ours. Though material gains may secure us a higher po¬ sition in society, the most important gains lie in spiritual gratifications. Too many of us today determine a successful person by his income bracket. This, of course, holds true in our society, but I feel that we are misconceiving a criterion of success, for true success lies in self- satisfaction. Eventually, each of us will be working, whether it be as a plumber, educator, doctor, laborer, or in any other activity. The all important principle that we should remember is that everyone is created equal, and though some of us may be more financially secure than others, we should bear in mind that a good solid American citizen reigns supreme. We should also remember that life is wonderful if we don’t ask too much of it. In the words of Ben Jonson “In small proportion we just beauties see And in short measures life may perfect be.” Michael Curcio ’63 132 CLASS ESSAY ON PUBLIC EDUCATION In a public high school is found a cross-section of American youth. This results from the concept of free education in America by virtue of which a public high school accepts all students without restriction as to race, color, or creed. The resulting cross-section contains every type of student and because of this those who teach in a public high school are especially challenged in their teaching abilities. A high school teacher might be given an in¬ ferior group of students or an accelerated class and must therefore adapt his teaching methods accordingly. Unlike teaching in a private school, the public school teacher is constantly confronted with varying degrees of intelligence among his students. However, the I.Q.’s of his students are not the only factor that the instructor must bear in mind. In this cross-section are students of different races, religious beliefs, and at¬ titudes toward school. Because of these differences the teacher is re¬ quired to use the utmost tact in his approach to his classes, The education of his students is the primary purpose of the teacher, but the underlying job of helping his students wherever else he is needed also occupies much of his time. He must, to the best of his ability, try to contribute to the well-rounded education his students are expected to derive from their high school years. Let us now examine the other half—the student—and his life in a public high school. Through high school the student enjoys a sense of freedom which he didn’t have in his grammar school days. Accordingly, he exercises his newly found right of liberty within reasonable limits. Being in a public high school he experiences a degree of social, racial, and religious differences he would never encounter in a pr ivate school. He is confronted with experiences which make him socially mature, emotionally stable, and intellectually alert. The student realizes that because of the large enrollment in his school he can not possibly expect to be pampered by his teachers. Also, that in order for his success in high school, he must become more self-reliant particularly involving the decision of whether to study or to cast the four years aside as fruitless. Through his school, he is being compelled to mature. In addition, his school offers him countless clubs through which he can develop his interests and if sports are his forte, he has the op¬ portunity to demonstrate his talents by playing on any of his school’s athletic squads. As his life quickens its pace he must wisely divide his time between his school work and the extra-curricular activities he has assumed. If he has made his decision well, he will reap the benefits of a well-rounded education. Through his teachers, his fellow students, and, most important, him¬ self, the student makes his education effective. During his four years in public high school a transformation has been going on about him and within him; so slowly that he doesn’t notice at first, but yet so completely that when graduation arrives he has evolved from a lost or perhaps over-confident freshman to a mature adult, eager and well prepared to join the community which made his education possible. Melissa Ruffy ’63 133 CLASS HISTORY Sue: Why Bob, is that you ? I haven’t seen you since graduation. It seems a shame that they’re tearing the old school down. Bob: You look familiar but I can’t seem to place the face. Now wait a minute — I’ve got it. Why Sue, it seems as though we were beginning our fresh¬ man year again. Sue: Yes, those were the good ole days. Bob: Gee, do you remember that year Mr. Bashour and Mr, Ivanowsky were installed as Principal and Vice-Principal respectively — Lord have mercy on their souls. Sue: Not only were they installed into offices, but so were many of our friends. Bob: I remember that Mary Margaret Bourke was elected 5th member of the Student Council. Sue: And Richard Cersosimo was elected 5th mem¬ ber of the Boys’ Club. Bob: In sports Rich Leavitt was the only freshman to receive a letter, which was in golf. Sue: Since you mention sports, I recall that at the end of the year at the annual awards assembly Joseph Karas and Cynthia Hughes received the first and second scholarship prizes respectively. Roger Derderian received the Boys’ Club trophy for having achieved the highest scholastic average of any member of the Boys’ Club. Bob: Douglas Camareo was voted the most well-to-do freshman after winning the $50 Renseleer Ele¬ mentary Algebra Prize. Sue: I remember when I, along with Douglas Camar¬ eo, Henry Link, and Betty Brown, were selected to attend the Junior Red Cross camp during the summer. Bob: I remember the following September. I made many new friends who had graduated from Burr Junior High. Sue: That was the year our class really began to blossom. Bob: Yes, Gerry Lemega was the only sophomore elected to the Junior City Council. Sue: Richard Cersosimo and Bill Bokus were elected secretary and treasurer respectively of the Bovs’ Club. Bob: Some of our girls began to become prominent in school activities. Betty Brown, Valeri Peterson, Mary Margaret Bourke, and Charlotte LoBell were selected as cheerleaders.

The faculty won in the most con¬ troversial game in Bulkeley High School history. Sue: Scholastically, Joe Karas won the Boys’ Club trophy for having the highest scholastic average of the boys. Bob: That year Cynthia Hughes and you finished first and secon din the class: I also remember that you won Honorable Mention in the Connecticut Regional Scholastic Writing Awards Contest. Sue: I seem to remember that award. I just happened to be doodling in study hall one day and handed the paper in by mistake. Bob: Then came our junior year. Now we were up¬ perclassmen! Sue: That year John Taylor and Betty Brown were elected presiden t and secretary of the junior class. Bob: Mary Margaret Bourke was elected secretary of the Girls’ League and vice-president of the Stu¬ dent Council. Sue: What about the Junior City Council? Bob: Don’t you remember? Our class had three mem¬ bers—Richard Cersosimo, Michael Curcio, and Vin¬ cent Linares. Sue: Do you remember our basketball team? That year Coach Lou Bazzano produced the best team in Bulkeley High School history. We were second in the state and second in New England—a feat accomplished by no other Bulkeley team. Bob: Gee, I remember most vividly our experiences in Boston while the team was playing in the New England Tournament. Sue: Yes, during the course of cheering the game I never saw such a group of jovial students. Bob: That was just good old Bulkeley spirits. Sue: Then came the election of such important com¬ mittees as the Junior Prom Committee and Maple Leaves Business and Editorial Boards. Bob: That year Gail Aliano, Joanne Blesso, Mary Margaret Bourke, Carol Gruener, Andrea Korisky, Melissa Ruffy, you, Bill Bensch, Peter Frasca, Joseph Karas, Henry Link, George Noveck and Natalino Santoro were elected to the Maple Leaves editorial board.

Bob: I attended the Junior Prom and never saw the gym so heavenly. The dance itself was a smashing success! Sue: I remember that Nick DePaolo, who was king, happened to be standing right next to Mr. Bashour when he was drawing the name of the king. Until 134 this day he has never shown that piece of paper to anyone. Bob: JoAnn Russo was selected queen along with the court of Mary Margaret Bourke, Cloitine Bonetti, Dolores Cain, Susan Cordier, Joan Devanney, Vale¬ rie Peterson, Michael Curcio, Edward Beakey, Mi¬ chael Hickey, A1 Tyskwicz, Robert Corso, and James Lavery. Sue: Elected to the Maple Leaves business board were Michele Franco, Nancy Gregory, Cynthia Hughes, Jacqueline Lombardo, Valerie Peterson, Edward Beakey, Douglas Camarco, Roger Derder- ian, Michael Hickey, Gerald Lemega, and John Tinnerella. Bob: I remember that Nancy Grady was selected as editor of the school newspaper—The Torch. Sue: With the final awards assembly our junior year came to a close. Bob: Several of our juniors received prizes at the assembly. George Noveck won the Harvard Book prize; Bill Bensch the Trinity Book prize; and John Taylor the Yale Book prize. Sue: Also, Nancy Grady received the Student Council award and Sebastian Cassarino and Peter Frasca received awards for excellence in German. Bob: For the second year in a row Cynthia Hughes and you finished first and second scholastically in our class. I understand that you received the Connecticut Association of Women Deans and Counselors Award. Sue: George Noveck received along with his book prize the Boys’ Club trophy for attaining the high¬ est scholastic average of the boys. Bob: During the summer of that year Rich Cerso- simo and John Taylor were selected as delegates to Nutmeg Boys’ State. Sue: Both boys were elected to an office. Richard, who was a member of the Federalist party, was elected to the House of Representatives while John, a member of the Nationalist party, was elected State Comptroller. Bob: The following September we returned to school as tops in Bulkeley. We were Seniors! Sue: That’s right. Many of our cassmates were heads of the most important organizations in our school. Mary Margaret Bourke was president of the Girls’ League and Melissa Ruffy was president of the Girls’ Leader Corps. Bob: Mike Curcio was elected president of the Boys’ Club and Bill Bokus served as vice-president. Rich Cersosimo was chosen president of the Student Council along with his secretary Mary Margaret Bourke. Sue: Betty Brown was selected captain of the cheer¬ leaders and on return to school she really began to tear into her work. Bob: As far as sports went Nick DePaolo and Bill Bokus along with Mike Curcio, who was appointed a co-captain during the course of the season, were chosen to captain the football team. Larry Murphy and Mike Hickey were chosen to Captain our bas¬ ketball team. Mike Hickey also captained the base¬ ball team with Mike Curcio, Sue: Seniors elected to the Junior City Council were Rocco Carone, Danny Formica, and Danny Civiello. Bob: Then the members of the senior class chose their class officers. Sue: The president was Nick DePaolo and the secre¬ tary Betty Brown. Class orator was Mike Curcio along with the essayist Melissa Ruffy. Bob: Mike Hickey along with Cloitine Bonetti were elected class prophet and prophetess while Rich Cersosimo and Gloria Fontanello were selected as class testator and testatrix. Sue: Bill Bensch and John Taylor were the class marshals. Bob: Then by a unanimous decision Bob Corso and Sue Cordier, two of the best class officers ever to be elected at Bulkeley, were chosen to write the class history. Sue: Then we selected the three most important committees in the senior class. They were the Senior Reception, Senior Night and Color and Motto Committees. Bob: The members of the Senior Reception commit¬ tee were Cloitine Bonetti, Virginia Cocolla, Arthea Costelloe, Joan Devanney, Judith Gherlone, Ruth Martin, Arline Zacher, Thomas Collins, James Fagan, Brian Gorman, John Niro, Thomas Shee¬ han, John Tinnierella, and Albest Tsykwiez. Sue: The members of the Senior Night committee were Elizabeth Brown, Victoria Calabretta, Valerie Peterson, Elizabeth Tomolonis, Richard Cersosimo, Robert Corso, Peter Johnson, and Vincent Linares, and those selected to the Color and Motto com¬ mittee were Sandra Haynes, Mary Ann Miklush, Edward Beatty, and Robert Edwards. Bob: I _ guess that just about puts the seal on the election of officers and committees in our senior year. Sue: We almost forgot about the Grace Garvin award which was won by Nancy Thomas. Bob: It seems as though our reminiscence of our four years in school has just about come to an end, As I look around I can still see some of the faces of our classmates. Sue: It’s hard to believe that in a matter of a week or two the school will be gone. Bob: Don’t worry about it Sue. They can’t destroy the school until the kids are finished with their detention, and with the able assistance of Mr. Ivanowsky the school will surely outlive the demo¬ lition squad. Sue: Well, it’s getting late. I think we’d better be on our way. Bob: Yes, I guess you’re right. It is getting late. I’ll be seeing you at the class reunion next month. Sue: Seriously though Bob, we can’t help feeling grateful toward our teachers and the school for molding our characters and making responsible adults out of us all.

Place: High Bed, Long Pall Hospital People: Nurse “Cloy” Kelly, Doctor “Flip” Casey Topic: Class Prophecy of “63” Doctor: Good Morning, nurse! Are you ready to make our rounds? Nurse: I’ll be right with you after I finish combing my eyebrows. Mike: Yes, well I’ve just finished mine. Cloitine: Yes, never mind that, let’s get to work. Mike: Here’s our first stop. This is the Calorie Clinic. Cloitine: Don’t I know some of these characters? There’s Carol Crane, Pamella DePardo, Bill Burke, Doug Camaraco, and Orest Zajac. What are they doing here? Are they fighting the “battle of the bulge?” Mike: Are they ever!!!!! Cloitine: Say, do I smell smoke in the men’s ward? Mike: Calm down, nurse. There’s something new and different in an Alpine! “Welcome Aboard”! There are the club members getting their “extra margin”-—Dennis Chicoine, Gerald Aldrich, Mike Eagen, Roger Martin, John Greene. They know that it’s what up front that counts. Cloitine: Who’s that bulging Romeo in the phone booth ? Mike: That’s just Rich Cersosimo, spending his twenty dimes for a date! Cloitine: Why there’s his old flame Trina Scata. Will he be glad to see her. Mike: Nurse, help little Rich climb down from the telephone seat. Cloitine: Certainly Doctor, it’s such a long drop. Mike: Move aside nurse, here come Nat Santoro, Sebby Ragno, Richard King, Peter Frasea, Gerald Slater and Sebastian Cassarino the absent-minded brain surgeons, who are specializing on filling brain cavities. Cloitine: What are Bob Gillanders, Paul Dzikiewicz, Gerald Frazier, and Sam Ruggero doing walking the corridors ? Mike: Oh didn’t you you know, they’re in for a series of head X-rays, so far the tests show nothing. Cloitine: Doctor, all the lights have gone out! Mike: Here comes the electrician, Mike Curico and his able assistants Barbara Trepte, Maureen Madi- gan, Angelo Miano. Cloitine: I knew it was a short circuit. Mike: (Ya) Everything around here seems to be awfully short. Cloitine: Here come Nick DePaolo and Diane Krze- minski. Mike: Well it looks like Nick finally completed a pass. Cloitine: Doctor, what’s all that noise? Mike: It looks like Frances Piscottano, Mary Priby- son, Gay Lattarulo are crying over the sick beds of the terribly frightened patients: Paul Parkyn, Larry Murphy, Henry Link, Bob Robichaud and Bob Holt who are to be operated on shortly, by the callous “ace” Dr. Urrichio, Cloitine: Who are in these rooms over here, Doctor? Mike: In room 470 is my special patient, Val Peter¬ son! Cloitine: What is she doing here? Mike: Oh, she’s just in for observation! Cloitine: Who’s in the next room ? Mike: In that room is “Speedy” Bob Corso who’s here to have his Bulkeley letter removed, which he sewed to his chest. Cloitine: Let’s go to the next floor, Doctor. NEXT FLOOR Mike: Why are Lucia Bazzano, Gail Almo, Jeanne Angelastro and Joanne Corcoran, standing in front of that huge window. Cloitine: Let’s go see what’s going on ? Mike: They’re looking at Peggy Dykron, Dorothy Dziedzic, Dorothy Adams and Pete Formica sitting at a table saying, “Tap, Tap, Tap, this is Mr. Bashour speaking.” And Guy Garofolo and Henry Wysocki sitting in a corner making funny noises at each other. Cloitine: That’s quite a ward Doctor. Mike: Sure is nurse! Cloitine: Did you hear about Nancy Gilligan, Sally Hersey, Patty Borlish, and Arlene Draizen? Mike: No, what?! Cloitine: I don’t know, I thought you knew! Mike: Forget it. Mike: By the way did you know that Butch Buccheri was brought in in a straight jacket? Cloitine: No, why? Mike: The President declared his head a disaster area, and ordered his hair cut. Mike: What is that big disturbance in the Mater¬ nity Ward? 138 Cloitine: It looks like patrolman Brian Gorman is arresting Pete “The Dip” Miele for stealing Baby Brian Ashe’s gallon sized baby bottle. Mike: And nurse Helen Lubas is trying to burp the massive Baby Ashe, while Nurses Dolores Be- kiesz and Ann Marie Rosa take turns putting the lively Vinnie Linares back into his crib. Cloitine: Well Doctor, last stop, Emergency Ward! Mike: Yes nurse, here are some very interesting pa¬ tients, namely Fred Caserta. Peter Shook, Gary Procaceini, Richard Zemguys, Donald Jarvis, Anthony Pelullo. They injured themselves while watching “Debbie Drake Litke”. Cloitine: Why are David Lazzari, Pete Iavecchio, and Dennis Conroy wearing winter coats ? Mike: They must still be dodging the draft. Cloitine: Here are Dan Coppinger and Joe Poveromo being carried in by ambulance attendants, Leonard Zgorski, Peter Sparre, Francis Adamcewicz, and Ed Johnson. Mike: Surgeon Gail Aliano has started work on them. I hear she is quite an operator! Cloitine: Doctor did you hear about the hospital variety show? Mike: When does it start, nurse? Cloitine: In about half an hour. Mike: Good, we should make it just in time. HALF AN HOUR LATER Mike: That was good timing. Emcee, Jim Saunders is introducing the first act. Cloitine: Guess that first act will have to wait until stage hands Don McGowan, Pat Nardi, Bob Gagne and Mike Hall carry off Judy Massare and Jac¬ queline Lombardi who are suffering from shock after reading the first half of this prophecy. Mike: Here’s the first act “The Five Carats,” Karen Bouchard, Paula Duplissis, Louise Chiconi, Mary Ann Bagley, Dora Wilkie singing, “Diamonds are a Girls’ Best Friend” I. C. Rock. Cloitine: Is that Janet Marcellino, Dennis Leghorn and Jim Lavery sitting in front of us ? Mike: That’s right; they are co-owners of “Moose Incorporated,” the famous hunting firm. Cloitine: Did you see Linda Coviello, Ann Marie Procyk, Joyce Kurko, and Sharon Jenkins pass¬ ing out programs? Mike: Yes, I have one for you. Didn’t Mary Anne Gleekner and Janet Ericson do a nice job on the art work? Cloitine: Look what just flew in, that old Torch Night act The Tsetse Flies Mary Anne Miklush, Betty Tomolonis, Ruth Martin, and Sue Kuduk, Mike: They are just as good now as they were then. Mike: That looks like the “Fifth Avenue Set,” in the box seats. Cloitine: Yes, that’s Rossie Walwork, the interna¬ tional playboy surrounded by starlets: Diane St. Peter, Michele Zakrewsky, Marilyn Winar, and Louise Wilcox. Mike: And that’s S. S. Bokron, the Greek shipowner, accompanied by Bill Zazzaro, A1 Tyskwicz, and Bob Therian, her first, second and third mates. Cloitine: And there’s the steel tycoon, Howie Raik- lewsky, with his body guards Jon Reynolds, Ray Riley, Bill Rucci. Mike: Steel tycoon is right! Cloitine: Look, the next act is almost over! Mike: It’s the judo expert, Gloria Fontanello, exhib¬ iting her various holds on the elusive Dan Formica. Cloitine: Y ' ou’ll enjoy the next act, Doctor. Mike: Oh you mean, Grace “Boom-Boom” Yaconello, Dolores “Cuddles” Cain, Maureen “Bubbles” Hill, and Ellen “Gypsy” Lee doing their famous bal¬ loon dance ? Cloitine: And there’s Tom Sheenan, Roger Taksar, Ronald Sager and Henry and Steve Sullivan shoot¬ ing paper clips at the girls from the balcony. Re¬ minds me of 222 study hall. Mike: While Norman Lusignan, Andrew Polarek, Mike Lenares, and Richard DeFurio use binoculars to bring “Bubbles” into the balcony! Cloitine: That was an eye opener, what’s next? Mike: Emcee Saunders is introducing the next act, singers: John Niro, Leo Bonnetti, and Dan Civiel- lo, who call themselves the “Half-Pints”. Cloitine: I thought Rocco Carone was a member of the “Quart-tet.” Mike: Yes, and Brian Daigneault is the “Fifth”- Member, Cloitine: Doctor, you’re being paged on the inter¬ com. Mike: That means I’ll have to leave the show early, Cloitine: I think I’ll watch the rest of ths show. Mike: I must say nurse, the Class of “63” is in good shape! Cloitine: Yeah, for the Shape it’s in. Cloitine Bonetti ’63 Mike Hickey ’63 END 139 Off. 233-6288 Res. 523-5358 NORMAN E. DIMMOCK, CO. 205A Sisson Avenue Hartford, Conn.
