12 THE TOOT CLASS PROPHECY As I was ordering some new books for our history department at the library,, a copy of the June 23, 1960, “New York Times” was brought to me. On the front page 1 found the announcement for which the whole world had been waiting. Bruce Burns, our newly elected president has ap- pointed Eugene Petrie as ambassador to La- tin America. Mr. Petrie has become famous for his fluency in speaking the Romance languages. In the “World Alfairs” column Frank Crimi, Secretary of State, is now in New York reporting to the United Nations on a startling discovery made by Ward Ramsdell, head of DuPont and his assistants Betty Holdridge and Mary Tornabene, who recently discovered synthetic oil. It seemed that most of my classmates had gained renown in the medical and scien- tific fields. Dick Tornatore has become a well known dentist in New York and Betty Moore, head of the Physical Therapy De- partment at Rochester Memorial hospital, is now employing a new treatment for infan- tile paralysis. The latest report from the New York State medical society says that the shortage of nurses in N. Y. has taken a big drop, pro- bably due to some of the greatest names ev- er entering the nursing profession, Dolores Farnach, Florence Ezzo, Dorothy Tackabury, Joan Phipps and Mary Ann Setticase. While turning the pages I noticed some brilliantly illustrated advertisements done by Charles Koch and Stella Stagnitti. Suddenly I saw the pictures of the secretaries who had just received positions in the Secretariat of the U. N.; Helen Schied, Betty Miles, Virgin- ia VanDusen, Ida DeFrancisco, and Elva Mae Pankhurst. Sam Tornatore has also been em- ployed by the U. N. as an accountant. On the front page of the sports section was a picture of Sam DeVencenzo, nationally known football coach, and an article on two eminent leaders in the field of physical edu- cation Bob Borgononi and Buster Schmidt. Scanning through the fine arts I found a landscape painting done by Luanna Love, comparable to those of Renoir and Monet. In the magazine section were colored photos of Audrey Cone and Jean Bortle modeling a summer wardrobe designed by Margaret Fratelli. The feature story of the week was “A Model Home”, planned and equipped by America’s homemakers; Edna Mason, Eve- lyn Merithew, Doris Simmons and Olive Smith. Norman Day headed names in the news with the title of “answer man.” You ask the question, Norman has an answer. Anita Fiore and Carol Bromfield have be- come very competent teachers with Carol specializing in pre-school teaching because of her “way” with children. Last but not least was a two page write-up on Joe Fisher's dairy farm, the largest in New York State. By the time I had finished reading a- bout all my classmates, I decided that the class of 1947 had really done its part in mak- ing a new and better world. —MADALYN YORTON Personnel Manager: “Don’t you have any recommendations from school?” Buster: “No—I tore them up.” Pers. Manager: “That was a silly thing to do.” Buster: “You wouldn’t say that if you had seen them”. Mr. Rynders: “How do bees dispose of their honey?” Freddy: “Cell it, don’t they?”
