CLASS PROPHE Waselewicz, Josephine Milik, Sophie Marciniak, and Sophie Zawacki. Other officers remaining in the Navy are John Bednar, John Brechka, Stanley Hadam, Charles Morris, John Toporof wich, and Walter Kurek. Still with the Ma' rines are William Colgan, Stanley Wojcik, and William Kurdyla. ' What did you say, operator? Another nickel? What do you think I own-a mint? Okay. Speaking of mints, Joe, did you taste the new mintfilavored pills recently put on the market by Dr. J. Zucker? It seems that he had trouble getting a backer, but the millionaire Leon Tar' 'necki finally came to his rescue. You know, Joe, you'd be surprised as to how 'many business men we have. Ernest Brechka took over a business which has the most solid foundation of any business I've ever seen. The Palehenki Brothers and Henry Dumansky are giving you competition, Joe. They founded Car' teret's third newspaper, the Carteret Dispatch which comes out daily, by the way. Stanley Hayduk is head cartoonist. Charlotte Britton writes the beauty column, and Hilda Sokler handles the love interests. Ann Belinsky is do' ing quite well with her bakery shop. Sales' girls are Margaret Karney and Mary Rayho. Steve Kovacs is business manager at Sokler's and his private secretary is Irene Sefcik. Mary Kilyk has opened a gymnasium for girls. In training for a professional volley ball team are Catherine McKissic, Irene Santos, Stella Szym' anifka, and Sophie Cap. Another successful business woman is Marian Ohlott who recently opened a beauty salon in Grand Central Sta' tion. Her best beauticians are Ethel Reider and Ann Dolinich. Hyman Chodosh and Gerald Mausner have established an engineering conf cern. They're in South America now. They took a powder after their first bridge collapsed. The most successful enterprise is Gleckner, Prof kop, and Gregor's ParadisefonfthefArthur Kill Hotel. Carteret has changed a lot, you know. Head receptionist is Edythe Chodosh. Head Clerk is John Kennedy who keeps bellboys Frank Brown and John Capik on the run. With Helen Butkocy as Chief Dietician the guests needn't worry about indigestion. The hotel looks very attractive outside, because of Geza Comba's efforts as a landscape gardener, and inside be' cause of Michael Sarik's work on the interior under Edward Wadiak's direction. The hotel features sports as the main part of its recreation C Y program with John Kachur and Donald Stauf bach as directors. As head of the women's division is Marcella Kahn and Gladys Christen' sen, Antonia Ilk, Sophie Kravetz, Edith Jabs, Allegra Donnelly, and Esther Kielman as coun' sellors. You know, Joe, I stayed at the hotel a week and had a swell time. The room next to me was shared by Alice Ginda and Madalyn Grohmann. The rates were reasonable, the meals were swell-milk coming from Skiba's Deluxe Dairy, but oh, the beds! The matf tresses must have been from Stephen Fodor's Mattress Factory. While taking a boat ride fon the Arthur Killj with Sophie Zabudowski and Victoria Wyskowski I met with some old friends, Sophie Wasylyk, Ethel Johnson, Eu' genia Downs, Josephine Nesterwitz and Gret' chen Maier. They send their regards. Here are some more odds and ends, Joe. Shirley Donovan opened a dancing school and is giving Arthur Murray stiff competition. Her staff includes Josephine Jackson, Sophie Krupa, and Helen Pallagi. Here's the best news of all, Joe-some of our graduates have hit the high spots in Hollywood. Sarah Berg is quickly ac' quiring Billie Burke's style, and Marie Med- wick is Hollywood's first great woman director. Gussie Molnar is property manager at Warner Bros. and Henry Mioduszewski heads the stage crew. Script writers at the studio are Annette Steinberg, Olga Korneluk, and Mildred' Man' dell. Remember those track stars we had-Stanley Maliszewski, Clifford Johnson, and Tony Sankf ner. They're now barnstorming the country and running circles around each other. Well, let's get back to the subject of the ref union. Seen last night on the dance floor was Nick Semak smiling with pride at the success of his new engineering job. John Ginda was a regular lady's man with his new oiiicer's uni' form. He's at Annapolis, you know. The laugh of the evening came when John Debrei lit a cigarette and almost set the place on fire. Michael Sarzillo came running in with all his fire equipment and saved the day. Joe, it really was surprising to see how many people turned out to the affair last night. What's that you say, operator! Another nickel! Well, Joe, my time's up but I hope this gives you an idea of what our class has done since those memor' able days at C. H. S. back in 1942.

CLASS PROPHE Operator, please get me the Perth Amboy News. Hello, city desk? Oh, it's you, joe. How are you, Joe? Say, I want to give you some dope on the reunion we had last night. Boy, the class of '42 sure raised the roof off Ben Marden's Riviera. What a time! Music was furnished by Murray Brown's Swing Band. He has Joe Hoos and joe Hiriak on the clari' nets and John Dumansky is still getting credit for his last miserable notes. Gloria Deats did a swell job vocalizing. Remember William Suto? He's press agent for Viater and Van Pelt Three Ring Circus. It features Michael Magella's Mighty Midgets, john Milyo, the Strong Man, and Stephen Resko, the Clown, who recently got an offer from Barnum E-9 Bailey. Florence Overholt is the trapeze artist while Joseph Bamburak, John Medwick, and John Medvetz hold the net underneath. Listen, Joe, you know that big apartment house that went up recently. Well, it's being shared by Agnes Szymborski, Jean Snell, Rose Rusinak, Elsie Adams, Mary Paszlowski, Flor' ence Bialowarczuk, Wanda Rogowski, and Vicky Ruzala, who are all happily engaged in housekeeping. You know, Joe, our class produced a horde of celebrities. Wesley Catri danced himself into the limelight and Rita Levy talked herself into it. She's New Jersey's popular Senator down there in Washington. Wallace Durst succeeded John Kieran and is now writing a sports col' umn in the Times. Harold Etheridge is show' ing Einstein a thing or two down at Princeton. Andy Shymanski is catching for the St. Louis Cards and Fred Staubach is coming up fast in the league. And joe, guess who's playing pro football for the New York Giants. That's right-Timko, Pelc, and Kolibas. And what a mob of coaches we had down at the reunion last night. C. P. Perkins is assistant to Crow' leyg Tommy Ginda is at Seton Hall, and Frank Nadolski is coaching track at Albright. Sam Binstein was down last night taking pic' tures for Life Magazine. He has a swell studio and Eulalie Beech, Mary Raskulinecz, and Rosa' lie Kloss are his ace models. You know who else entertained for us last night? Mary Feryo sang and was accompanied by Lois Doscher, and those top commediennes Koblentz and Dowdell, new discoveries of Red Skelton, kept us in stitches. C Y And Joe, I spoke to Tommy Medvetz, the new prosecuting attorney. He gave me the low' down on the case between Joe Dolan's Movie House and Rudolph Trnowsky's Pretzel Fac' tory. It seems that Rudy wanted to sell pret' zels during the intermission of the revival of Keep 'Em Flying, starring Dorothy Czaplinski, David O'Rourke, and Dewitt Doscher. Dolan didn't approve of the idea and kept him flying, right out in front of Joe Petrocy's Meat Market -hams invited! Ethel Kaskiw recently opened a secretarial school. The faculty includes Mary Korpita, Helene Neiman, Elizabeth Bok, and Rose Wizna. Speaking of teachers, since Carteret High School expanded, Eleanor Jacob, Eleanor Harkiewicz, and Ethel Hudak have been added to the faculty. Diken E? Dikun, Umbrella Manufacturers, have done such good business since the rainy season started that they have hired a new staff of secretaries in addition to Mary Brechka, So' phie Bartko, Margaret Kerekgyarto, Elizabeth Kosci, and Helen Maskaly, their conscientious aides. The new girls hired are Mary Truhan, Irene Spisak, and Cecelia Sul. Tony Pusillo, head of Tony's Pickle Works, suggested the idea of a hospital in Carteret and said he would be willing to finance it. Evelyn Dobrek, Lillian Knorr, and Margaret Skitka are good nurses and we could easily change Robert Graeme's mind about being a butcher and make him chief surgeon. Seymour Schwartz and Edward Wojtkowski could be his able assistants. Well, Joe, I guess you're curious to know about what some of the others are doing. Eleanor Galbraith is doing some swell makeup work at MGM, and Rita Nelson is doing hat designing at Lord E? Taylor's. Virginia Price gives skating exhibitions at Rockefeller Cen' ter. Carroll Sofield is in the U. S. Air Force. Stephen Fistes is concert master of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. August Neu' mann is designing airplanes at Glenn L. Mar' tin's in Baltimore, while Ambrose Wadiak is designing boats at the Kearney Shipyards. Jimmy O'Donnell is still with the Fighting 69th. Other boys who simply couldn't leave the service because of the USO dances are Sandor Horky, Stanley Sosnowski, and Zolton Varga. Maybe it was because of the pleasing personalities of the dance hostesses-Margaret Chek, Catherine Conlan, Theresa Churilla, Rose

CLASS POEM L'ENVOI Memories are sacred treasures, From which we draw smiles or tearsg But the choicest jewels of all, Are the memories of high school years. These treasures recall countless joys, Experienced in days gone byg We'll regret only memories remain, Bat rejoice that they never die. All good things meet an endg And sadly now do we say: Of all the fine years of our lives, The best have passed away. HYMAN CHODOSH '42 52
