18 THE TOOT CLASS PROPHECY I picked up a copy of the June 23, 1955 “Life” while I was waiting for a class with Salvador Dali, and much to my surprise I found a picture of Angela Tornatore on the front cover. The issue had been devoted to my old home town and surrounding country. Turning a few pages, there was a “Back Home for Keeps” ad done by Amy Turner, using Jean and Curtis for models. In the “letters to the Editors” section, Rose Tor- natore had registered a complaint for a re- cent miscalculation of her now famous the- ory, and from Jane Pexton, a letter of thanks for the pictures of her prefabricated house. The ‘Speaking of Pictures’ were taken by the ace photographer, Bill Parker, whose subject was Dick Bellinger’s and Archie An- derson’s super modern farm near Clockville with glass brick buildings. Down the road a bit was pictured Marjorie Stokes who teaches school right near the farm. The story said that she’s engaged to Archie now. The editorial was a very fine history of Canastota signed by Pat Milmoe. now Editor- in-Chief of the Life Staff. The feature story of the week was the e- vent of sextuplets (four boys and two girls) born to the former Mary Lou Farr. Virginia Mazzoli was their special nurse, Anne York their dietician, who had come to take care of them from her position as Head of Home Ec. at Cornell. The children’s governess was Audrey Lamb, whose way with babies is world renowned. The picture of the six was just adorable, fat, pink and bubbling over with laughter. The story went on to say that Anna Bartholomew and Jo Sgroi had opened a charming inn, on a hill overlooking Canastota, to take care of the influx of tourists who had come since the blessed event. In the fashion first section, there were clothes designed by “LILA” (you recognize, of course, the combined names of Frances Lizzio and Mary Laguzza). The models were Rose Crimi, who works for the Powers agen- cy and Bernice Palmer who is under con- tract to Conover. Another few pages and there was a sports article about Mary Fratini’s famous female football team that had challenged Tony Di- Gaspari’s team to a game in the Rose Bowl. Diggy’s star was Carmen Cerio who has been playing pro-football since his discharge from the Navy, but at present, the odds favored Mary’s team. Picture of the week was Sam and Tony Danesi’s one thousand acre muckland in full cultivation. People came from all over to see this exceptional farm. Robert Mott and Elmer Smith have their names predominantly displayed on the top of the next page. They’ve become famous physicists and have just astounded the U. S. with a new formula. The Music Department of this week’s copy was devoted to Jennie Loguidice, Mary Pa- tane and Lucy Russo who have formed a trio that’s become a raving success at the Stork Club where they sing nightly. Norman John- son writes the music page each week and gets to see all the New York concerts on a pass. The celebrated copyright case received two pages. You know about it don’t you? Some one tried to steal a theme from Mary Men- gucci’s novel that has become nationally known, and Frank Fiore her lawyer was pic- tured on the left hand page with his secretary Jo Ippolito. “Life Goes To a Wedding” was devoted to Janet Gleason’s wedding in the fashion- able new United Church. Betty Davis had designed her gown and was the maid-of-hon- or—always a bridesmaid, but never a bride.
