jf op Directing the New York Symphony Orchestra is the famous pianist, TED ZIKOVSKY, who by the way, is still looking for the “lost chord.” The Conneaut News-Herald has changed hands and now has the new co-managers LARRY KENNEDY and MORRIS H GErTv They have obtained the services of RICHARD ZORATTI, the famous crime photographer, and sob sister, JOANNE MCKEE. NANCY NEEDHAM and SAM SIMONE have joined forces in more than one way, for they’re both doctors and married. Also in the same building with them is that famous woman psychiatrist, MARY ANN PHILLIPS, who treats persons suffering from the twitches. A young man who has made himself well known, as a writer of Pastoral Poetry is JERRY WEDDLE. Speaking of the green fields, WILLIAM FOX now owns a large farm in Idaho where he raises everything having four legs and a tail. Two up-and-coming figure skaters, MARY JANE MUNDI and JERRY SKINNER, are going to represent the U. S. in the forth-coming Olympics. JAMES MILTNER and ROLAND MILLER are in the bakery business. They have expanded to include twelve different chain stores in the state of Ohio. A young man who has made use of the art of self defense is that heavyweight pugilist LARRY LANE, training at Sarasota, Florida, under the guidance of that very clever trainer, DONALD FENTON. The Cleveland Indians have just signed RICHARD “SLUGGER” COLBY as shortstop for the coming season. MAXINE MARKIJOHN and CAPMFLLA MUCCIA ONE have fused together in the dress designing business and have created many ups and downs in the lengths of women’s dresses. EDWARD PALAGYI and JAMES HEWLETT have discovered a new type of rubber-soled shoe that will never wear out. People predict that these young fellows will become multi-millionaires. Chief stock holders in this enterprise are JACK LYON and AMY DENUNZIO. Outstanding skiing instructors in the Swiss Alos who are rabidly gaining fame are MARY McDERMOTT and ELLA PYLE. Gorgeous George the wrestler has ius+ hired a new beautician and a figure specialist, IRENE BRADNAN and CHARLOTTE MEINKE, respectively. The new F. B. I. (Feminine Bureau of Tnvestigation) has for its president, SUSAN “DURK” WHITNEY, while vice president is CAROL CANTLIN. They are now investigating “Why food is the quickest way to a man’s heart.” HELEN LEMAK, through much blonde appeal, has become head stenographer in the District Attorney’s office in New York City. An all-girl orchestra is now heard over WICA very Saturday evening. It features—you’ve guessed it—MARY LOU HILL and her magic drums. ELEANOR PEARSON has become an opera singer and is going to give her first concert in Carnegie Hall next week. DORIS YATES still has the knack for playing the colored maid on stage. Naturally she’s been in many of the stage plays on Broadway, (doing a good job at it, too.) A baby sitting syndicate has been formed in Conneaut. Who is at the head of it but MARILYN SHAFFER and PEGGY SHARP. (Wonder why these gals never married?) CAROLINE TUTTLE’S favorite sport is surf boat riding; so she spends much time in Florida. The last page of the album had been turned back and with it our friendly chat had come to a reluctant end. We had to rush to catch our plane home. The girls had called a cab, and to our surprise, RICHARD HATHY. was the driver. He told us he had his own business and was doing very well. This coincidence made our class of 1950 complete. Dear friends, the crystal ball is hazing o’er and no more pictures can I see. As you turn life’s pages slowly and see your golden hopes come true, remember, classmates, for each and everyone of you, I wish success, rrea happiness: may all your dreams come true. JAMES BROWN.

Senior It’s 1962; twelve years have passed since the Half Century Kids” left dear old C. H. S. The years have passed so quickly that I can hardly realize our gang is no longer a group of ‘kids” but adults with conquered worlds of their own. My business partner, ROY “SAM” HUSTON, and I are on a business trip for DuPont Chemicals and have stopped off in Washington for the celebration. That’s right! A presidential republican victory—no fooling! We had a wonderful trip, especially because the pilots of our plane were none other than ROBERT VOELKER and BILL VIBBARD, a couple of home town boys who had grown “wings” and flown away from their nest. We being men, our appetites urged us to stop for food. We walked down Pennsylvania Avenue and a brilliantly lighted sign attracted us: “The Half Century Club.” The name brought back nostalgic memories, so Roy and I decided to eat there. It was a swank affair with the proprietor greeting his guests at the door. Imagine our surprise when we recognized him ?s TONY AFCARO; his wife, the former EVELYN DAVISON, was at his side—as usual. We were just in time for the floor show, and as the spotlight focused on the fifty-piece orchestra, we recognized another Half Century Kid, HARRY LUCE, the Maestro. The show displayed many beautiful girls. With great pleasure we recognized PAT ALLEN, MARGIE REID, NANCY OLSON, and MARILYN RALSTON. Running true to form, we were “stage dcor Johrnies” and met che girls after the show. We went to Margie’s apartment where we talked over old times and reminisced about the gang, wishing we knew more about what they were doing Marge brought out her scrap book which was the answer to our wish, as it contained clippings about almost everyone of the 1950 class, now in the hands of the “cruel” or “good” world. This is what we found as we turned the pages: RICHARD MEGYESI, famous scientist in Africa, is married and has a family of twelve children. (Wonder why he decided on the dozen?) Playing football with the California Forty-Niners are the renowned guard. EUGENE ZAPPITELLI, and fleet-footed fullback, BILL “DUMBO” DOMBROSKI. Two students who have been studying art in Paris have decided that “two can live as cheaply as one.” Yes, you’ve guessed it—BOB LOPEMAN and MARTHA BRAUN have finally tied the Gordian knot. ESTELLA STOFKO and JOAN MITTELSTADT are Librarian and Assistant Librarian, respectively, in the Congressional Library in Washington. Hollywood has added to its famous dress designers LEONARD “LOVER” DIAUTO and CHESTER HOLLYWOOD” ROBERTS, who are fortunate in having the beautiful models. SALLY BUSS, RUTH GEE, and NANCY GREEN working for them. Following the nursing profession in one of New York City’s largest hospitals are MARY LOU EADES, JOANNE JARVI, and AUDFEY SCOTT, who have as one of their first patients DICK WALLACE, currently convalescing after having been afflicted with a broken heart. Making its first run on the N. K. P. was the new jet-propelled engine with RAYMOND CARBERRY as the engineer and ANTHONY MADONNA, fireman. Joining the ranks of successful homemakers and married folks are JANICE ENGLISH, JOANNE GETZ, SALLY HEWS, KATHERINE LOOMIS and PATRICIA HATHAWAY. RUSSELL CHENEY and ROBERT JARVI are running a radio repair shop in Oklahoma. “Russ,” by the way, is still trying to put together the radio he took apart in 1950. A new business venture called Females Incorporated” is operated by MARY DEFILIPPO, KATHERINE FRAZEE, and AUDREY HEWITT, who advise the women on “How to hold your man after you get him.’’ Y. W. C. A.’s swimming instructor, PEARL ANN “STRETCH” WALTERS, is teaching ELMA NASTELIN how to swim Niagara Falls, without a barrel. Following their life-long ambition, LAVE A HiLL and LEONORE MUCCIA-RONE are Physical Education teachers in Hong Kong, where they teach boys and girls how to move “quickee and no slipee.”
