c fie CSoot 15 T e'K3G' oc' oc' J r' os' off'»o PROPHECY Weaver Hotel Canastota, N. Y. June 15, 1945 Dear Miss Mackey: I’ve been visiting in Canastota for the past week and my first day here was one of the most enjoyable days I’ve had in weeks. When I entered the railroad station after getting off the train, I was more than shocked to find John Simmonds. whose chief hobby used to be singing, as the train caller. Oh, you should see the station. It’s a beautiful place. After leaving the station, I went to the Weaver, one of the most popular hotels in New' York, and rented a room. I turned away from the desk and looked, then I looked again. Sure enough! The bellhop was Paul Tuttle. How nice he looked in his uniform. The elevator boy (yes. they have an elevator) was Francis Corpin. Naturally. I stopped to talk with them. They told me that Helen McHugo and Dorothy Green were the chefs at the Weaver. Mitt Carmen, now- married to Alice, has his own orchestra. Among the members are Charlie Foster, Sam Emmi and Esther Tuller. They play for dinner and supper dancing at the Weaver every night, Marion Cardner is their vocalist. Danny Yorton and George Weisbrod are traveling salesmen at present staying at the Weaver. I went into the dining room and sat down to lunch. I looked up from the menu and there was Joe Penna, head waiter. He is now- married to Molly Vecchio who is more beautiful than ever. After lunch I walked down Peterboro Street. You’d never know- it, Miss Mackey, it’s nicer than Salina Street in Syracuse. My first stop w-as the A. P. of which Reilly Meade is district manager. Rose Loguidice is one of the clerks. She’s called the “singing clerk”. In the meat department I saw Charlie Relyea and Eddie Homan, butchers. They always did enjoy cutting up. My next stop was the Drury Barber Shop. Francis Drury and John Mascari are the barbers and Maggie Buda has a beauty parlor on one side. I then went dow-n to the high school, the place of many happy memories. Florence Furfaro is new principal. Patsy Pugliano is teaching Italian; Josephine Malfitano, Chemistry; Lester Mick, A- merican History. They have an airport and an aviation school back of the high school. Margaret James is chief flying instructor. On the way back to the Weaver, I met Don Clarke, handsomer than ever. He is now manager of the “Diana” a well known night club. His hostesses are Marlyn Jackson and June Cowan. Phil Lisi, my former sidekick, is chief candy and cigarette girl. She still hates men. The interior of the “Diana” was beautiful and I later found out that Betty Schied was the decorator. Freddy Schaffer’s orchestra furnished the music and their vocalist is Thelma Carmen. While talking with Phil, I learned what the other members of the class of ’36 w ere doing. Gwen Brophy is in Hawaii teaching the Hawaiian girls how to “swing it.” Harry Wright is in Germany as the U. S. marathon entry in the marathon in the Olympics. Grace Ostrander is the “strong lady” of the Barnum Bailey Circus. Eddie Stankivitz is a member of the All-American football team. Ponzie and Angeline Argentine are nurses in the Will Rogers Memorial Hospital in the Adirondacks. Pete Eppolito is chief surgeon. Bob Caldwell is the Madison County Judge. Johnny Robertson is the district attor- ney and Dick Fine is in the Wampsville

Don and Kerneith are married and are running a boarding house. Their star boarders are Eddie Homan and Joe Verno. I learned that Nancy Bogardus, now a popular young society matron, living in Oneida, still-pursues her dramatic career. She has a lovely home and her maids are Ruth Gleason and Marjorie Brown. She is holding a tea sometime this week in honor of Raymond Davis, one of radio’s most popular crooners. At last I left the Diana and went back to the Weaver. While getting ready for bed, I turned the radio on and I heard Sally Owens telling a bedtime story. What a fitting climax to my day in Canas- tota. Well, Miss Mackey, I hope that sometime soon I may see you and we will talk over the successes of the class of ’36. Very sincerely yours, Rosaline Masucci (Class Prophet) CLASS HISTORY (Continued from page ten) SOPHS AS freshman, we held a frankfurt roast at Campbell's summer home with an attendance of about thirty freshmen.
