The Echo of 1948. It uas due to her never tiring efforts that this project was made possible. Her patience and understanding gave us the initiative to undertake numerous activities. Through her guidance and leadership we made these activities a success. Miss Crossmore has surely made our high school days something to be remembered always. Sophomore Class History On September 24, 1917, the Sophomore class hail its first meeting for the purpose of organizing and electing officers. The' group is to he guided through the remaining school years by Mrs. Claire Griffith. Miss Regina Nugent, as advisers, and illiam Mattson as President; Marion Murray, Vice President; Grace Blair. Secretary, and Charles McCurdy, Treasurer. Again on October 8 of the same year the class was called for a meeting to decide on the first project they were to undertake. Since it was felt that selling of fruit cakes was most profitable, it was adapted immediately. We fared as well as could he expected hut sin-rcrely hope to do better in the future. Although no plans have been made definitely, the Sophomores are looking forward to a £reat tomorrow. ROOM 3 First Row: T. Gal ip, K. Gen-nard. K. Morris. S. Montgomery, C. Stemporosky, M. Murray, J.

Junior Class On September 11. 1946, the Junior Class took form under the advisorship of Miss Catherine Higgins and Miss Mary Blanche. The officers elected were: Michael Marine, president; Margaret Gambone, vice-president: Hita Manzi, secretary; ami Victor Orler. treasurer. The Junior Class while yet Sophomores sponsored movie benefits, a Spring Dance, sold fruit cakes, and ordered class rings. At the end of the sophomore year we. the class of 1949. had re-election of class officers. The newly elected officers were: Kenneth Cha-haud. president: Margaret Gambone, vice- president: Rita Manzi, secretary; and Michael Marine, treasurer. Miss Catherine Higgins and Miss Doris Felty were to lead ami guide the class. The first important event for the junior year was the arrival of class rings. Later the class sponsored a junior prom, dances and movie benefits. As we are about to enter our senior year, we look hack over the years only to realize that this is the year for which we have been waiting. We hope that we. the class of 1949. will be as successful in all undertakings as the many classes that have preceded us. ROOM 5 First How: II. Coulston. M. Gambone, V. Cressman. C. If il• cox, E.

Senior Class History On the eve of maturity, as we reluctantly hid farewell to high school and yield to the beckoning future, let iis linger awhile in the remaining moments and recall the more significant events occurring within tin memory of our high school career. Let us attempt to analvze the means through which we have attained our final goal. Under our president's firm leadership we have compiled a long record of school activities and have participated outstandingly in extra-curricular work. We have contributed from our ranks many noteworthy individuals who have excelled scholastically as well as in athletics, dramatics and music. For these reasons no one can testify that we have not made our presence here felt, and memory should he retained by remaining students. Recalling the few years just elapsed, we shall recognize the outstanding features of each. While few’ events of import occurred during our first year, we at least began to realize the opportunities afforded by class organization. Although we still possessed that inferior feeling of freshmen, we knew that we soon woidd take an active part in school life in general. In our Sophomore year indications of coming success were in evidence. I nder our reliable president we launched upon a program of money-making ventures which offered material assurance of future security. Few of us can forget the barn dances with music supplied by orchestras composed of talented local high school hoys- likewise the skating parties and movie benefits staged by us ’48 students. All th ese projects succeeded because of the closely knit cooperation without which no organization can endure. The long-awaited arrival of our class rings featured the advent of our Junior year. These rings served as a reminder of all the things which make an enjoyable school term. The first real test of our energy and organizing ability came with the planning ami production of our Junior prom. Everyone agreed that it was a decided success. Thereafter the events of our Junior year fade into oblivion. In the face of the exciting occasions of this, our last year, those three well known spring activities— the Washington Trip, the Senior Play, and the Prom loomed ahead. All were a tremendous success and concluded a well-rounded program of school activities. The end of an enjoyable school year was approaching, and preparation for Commencement was under way. Baccalaureate Service was held with its usual solemnity. Then the day of both exultation and sadness arrived. Graduation, however seemed now. not as the end of well-spent days and years, hut as the beginning — the Commencement of new, strange and inviting years ahead. This day far overshadowed the resounding jovs and sorrows of our high school years. It compelled us to forget the lingering memories of school, and to fearlessly await the future.

Through continual experimenting on the part of Mr. William Smith the atomic carpet is a reality. This new discovery makes possible a series of flights which brings me in contact with many unforgettable classmates. My first stop is Conshohockcn. There I enter a very exclusive cafe. The head waitress, Rita Pagliaro. places me at one of the best tables. The proprietor, William Perseo. provides the meal without charge, knowing that 1 was a former student of Conshohockcn High School. The entertainers of the evening are Mr. Jackson, better known as Danny Moore, and his well known orchestra. His compositions are sung bv the sweet voice of Miss Sue Sable, known to us as Theresa Turssline. I stop at ““Rossi’s Auto Service. Mario is the genial proprietor. His recent invention is the Deluxe Speedster.” As I walk down Fayette Street I notice a crowd before the Methodist Church, and learn that Miss Joan Kcuhn is becoming the bride of Mr. Ronald W illiams. Nice going. Joanie. A new radio station. Frog Hollow on the air. is being completed. The famous radio announcer. Vince Improto. announces the play in which Gladys Costello will star. Her leading male supporter is Benny Guarino. The play is Duel in the Morning, one of Theodore W ojciechowski's masterpieces. Leonard Klorfine teaches chemistry at Con-shy High. He really does wonders for the students. Just think after a year they know the formula of water. By the way, it is H..O. Let us leave Conshohockcn and go seeking other members from the class of '48. W hat is that white skyscraper over there? The sign says Mercy Hospital”—Dr. James Kriebel. Class Dr. Kriebel really has mercy on his patients; he tried to take out an appendix with a butcher knife. But even the nurses, Gertrude DeMarco and Doris Sturzebecker. have a case on Jimmv. He looks so handsome in his white, suit. The headlines READ ALL ABOUT THE FIRE” attract me. Mr. George Gunning, the famous newspaper reporter, has scooped his rival again. His story on the fire about Lassies’s dog house burning down is great. George’s rival is none other than Pearl Hyde. She always wanted to he a great skater, hut the floor was a trifle too hard. This same paper features another amazing headline, “EDGAR BERGEN HIRES A NEW SECRETARY. This announcement arouses my interest. Instead of Mortimer Snerd sitting on Edgar's knee, that cute brunette does. She's our one and only Jean Schools. 1 go to the “Golden Cup owned by Boh Todd. There Helen Kolamago is doing her piano solo. Everybody likes the piece. Two people clap. See Robert Pierson there. Boh is a wealthy business man. His efficient secretary is Rita Seferski. She takes dictation at the rate of 300 words a minute. Boh informs me that Charles Dutill is a famous ultra interior decorator. Charles' most recent job was redecorating the elaborate palace owned bv Mr. John Davidson. Johnny is not too hard to please as long as the entire place is re-done each month. Attended the John Power’s fashion show. I am surprised to see that John Andry is modeling an exclusive formal gown. Much approval is received from the audience on the new dresses created by a famous New York designer. These designs feature small flowers painted on the belts by Miss Betty Jane Beaver. 1 asked “Bob” about some other old classmates. He tells me that Miss Connie Prusi-nowski, owner of the “Modern Beauty Salon in the city, knows every hit of latest gossip. Her regular customers are Lucy Morgan and Marie DiSehastiano. I wonder why they always want to look pretty. They probably have a special reason. 46 Prophecy Boli alxo tolls me that the two class engineers, Ann and Maresca and Kenneth Men-ning, were recently offered an assignment to construct a new Brooklyn Bridge, but they refused because neither could swim. I decide, since I am in New York, to attend the Ballet Russe. To my great astonishment whom did I see as the star? It was none other than Eleanor Cardamone. Is it any wonder that she's a success after all the practicing she did in Gym class? Oh! by the way, she co-stars with Richard Neville. I met Joe Golas. captain of the West Point Football team. Joe plays as well as he did for the Bears hack in 48. The trip being so tiring I decided to take a short rest at that well known vacation resort. Saranac Lake. As 1 near the pool I hear a shrieking whistle from the lifeguard, Joseph Blonsky, signalling that famous swimmer. Aster Billiains, better known to us as Barbara Gordon, that she is beyond the three foot line. I am amazed to observe that the chief chef. Stanley Zadroga, is struggling to barbecue a chicken. The meal is served by Mary Sonet who is working her way through college. The newlyweds across the dining room, quarrel on their honeymoon . . . Mrs. Pierpont Jones is the former Miss Margaret Webster. Once more I find myself in the city of Brotherly Love. At City Hall. I notice the crowd looking breathlessly toward the sky. There two window washers are working. One slips, hut he doesn’t fall. Joseph Alhanese and Frances Travaline wash on to a clean finish. While in Philadelphia I went to see the Ice Follies of 1958. Til and Lil are cutting their figure eights. As it is almost curtain time they have to cut the act in half. They make fours. Till and Lil are better known to us as Theresa Salvia and Theresa Sirchio. At the Art Museum. 1 view the “Portrait of Elaine,” masterpiece of that great artist. June Ambler. The girl in the portrait is Elaine Irwin. I meet Allen Diem, near City Hall. He tells me he is a pilot for a large flying company. He is so careful that he just had four accidents in the last three weeks. His steward- ess is Jean Levan. Her special dish for the passengers is crackers and milk. Allen tells me that Edith Lepera goes ice skating everv day. Just think after ten years she knows how to lace the skates! Allen and I enter City Hall. Two lawyers are in the middle of a hot argument. The D. A., Joseph Novi, objects to something the defense attorney. Joe Paglario. has said. Each is fined twenty dollars by the very popular judge, John Jaworski. After the adjournment of the Court, we have a 48 gabfest. and I learn from the others that Matilda Licwinko teaches historv in the Edward Hermann High School. I w'onder if she gets as much enjoyment out of historv now as she did when she was in school. Now I know how she obtained all those A's. Leo Kolhasowski is a famous bookkeeper. He knows how to keep everything hut hooks. Joseph Kozlow'ski and Joseph DeSantis are producers of pens that write under water providing the point doesn't get wet. Miss Jane Vi anamaker is the principal of the Oak Nursery, a well known nursery school for trees. She always did show enthusiasm for nursing. Joe now adds to the gossip that Gladys Marsh is a telephone operator now and has more fun than a barrel of monkeys, listening in on other peoples conversation. Theresa DeMarco is hep with her fiddle. She plays hoe downs with Pop Johnson. Rose Marie Rocus is the efficient maid of that glamorous movie star. “Hedi Damour. Georgette Vogt to us. Rose Marie has only four days of leisure each week. James Domucz has become a radio comedian. His jokes are so funny that the audience considers it an effort to laugh. James is also the manager of that famous dancing team. Peter Sylvester and Nancy McQuirns. They finally got their names in lights—candle light. Joe Pagliaro suggests that we go to a show at the Earle theater, which is owned by none other than Carl Petrucelli. He doesn't believe in anything hut the latest features, such as “Wild Bull Hickcox Rides Again.” Carl's (Continued on Page 29) 47 V e x Raymond Vxonard K orftnc Gladys CosteUo ucy Morgan “T 1 STUDENT 'T,ru'l‘ DeMarco' J (I ln« L . • ■ Janu-s Kriebel 1 'HEEKFl e Jamin Guarin, J ean c-l S, bool ME,ST humorous 7 °r Cardamon, Daniel M„ore Clas e, the Senior Class of Conshohocken High School, on this the fourth lay of June, in the year one thousand nine hundred ami forty-eight. do hereby make and seal this, our Last Will and Testament to be carried out to the utmost of their ability by those who follow our footsteps in the sands of time.
