Cheerfully he gave his patience and effort to those who were in need. Fixed in our minds are the happy memories and recollections of our principal, Edward W. Oermann. Secretary Lois Clark Robert C. Landis Superintendent GREETINGS—NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY-NINERS It is with a high degree of satisfaction that I hail the class of 1949 in extending to its members my sincerest good wishes for a bright future and a life of service that shall be consummated in a life well lived. As graduates, you are standing on the threshold of a new world ushered into being through the nuclear science that sent the atomic bomb to bring down the curtain on the past. This new world calls for men and women of vision, of purpose, of hope and of truth. We stand at a time of significant decisions, when the course of mankind for sometime to come will be patterned by new ideals. It is a time for careful thought; for finding our course among circumstances which are in significant ways new. The long standing signposts have become strange as a new culture has grown up around them. With this new culture have come new perspectives and as a consequence humanity is shifting its outlook. The achievement of man's ultimate destiny can be realized only by building a world in which all races shall live under the influence of love, faith, toleration and good will. In the words of Abraham Lincoln: Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it.” '7 Our first night football game, and dedication of the new community field.

Class Day! oZ o y Class Colors ....................................Red and White Class Motto....................... Forward ever; backwards never.” Josephine Russo began the program by reciting the class poem. CLASS POEM FAREWELL As the years pass, you will find A tendency to look behind. Don't turn to see the wrong you’ve done Or try to count the battles won, But look ahead and keep awake; There’re some blows you’ll have to take. Remember your paths before you spread And with each turn you’ll find ahead Some job, some task for you to do; Don’t let it ever conquer you. Keep clear the paths, keep straight the way, Remember the ones who’ll follow some day. Our Jo is quite a poet. Rita Manzi then gave the history of our class. Class Flower This is Rita's version of what we have been doing for the last three years. CLASS HISTORY On September eleventh, nineteen hundred forty-six, we, the class of nineteen hundred forty-nine, prepared to enter our plane to begin our endless tour of research—research of education. It was the beginning of years of hard work but work that went hand in hand with play. Now, however, our golden rule days are gone, never again to return. On that bright September morning our plane took off, but the going was rough. Our plane was soon put into the capable hands of our advisors as pilots, Miss Catherine Higgins and Miss Mary Blanche. The scientists for our never-to-be-forgotten tour were: President, Michael Marine; Vice-President, Margaret Gambone; Secretary, Rita Manzi; Treasurer, Victor Orler. We were seriously started on the path to our goal—graduation. Suddenly something happened. We were forced to land and after a complete check-up we started out once again with a new staff, which included Miss Doris Felty as co-pilot. The scientists were: President, Kenneth Chabaud; Vice-President, Margaret Gambone; Secretary, Rita Manzi; Treasurer, Michael Marine. These scientists and pilots encouraged students to take advantage of the extra-curricular activities—sports, choruses, band, orchestra, plays, Tri-Hi-Y, Hi-Y, and Student Council. The class sponsored dances and movie benefits to help entertain students who thought they were being overworked as well as to earn money for the yearbook. The beginning of our tour was merely a stepping stone to worlds beyond, but with an indefinite destination. Lo and behold, a second landing was forced. This time there was a slight change in the staff. The new co-pilot was Mrs. G. Ora Hippie. Our crew was now complete to continue our journey. To our pilots we owe much for they were the ones to lend a guiding hand when going was rough. As our cargo we carry thanks and appreciation for all they have done. Then all too soon we were on the last part of our tour and headed southward to Washington. While exploring that strange new world that is called Seniorland, that is known to seniors and seniors alone, we laughed, we talked, we sang, we worked, we played, knowing that before long these days would end and at the close a new day would appear, a day full of responsibilities. To come is the struggle for the survival of the fittest. Now that day has arrived, and as we land, we hope that those now on this journey will be as successful as we, for with us we take something that we cannot give, sell, or lose. That day has come when we must all go our way as future secretaries, bookkeepers, typists, journalists, doctors, nurses, teachers, interpreters, mechanics, and carpenters, but we shall always bear in mind the motto of the class of '49, Forward ever, backward never.” Our Most Ambitious Seniors WHO’S WHO AMONG THE ' FORTY-NINERS Best Students Roy Todd Betty Anne Coulston Best Dancers Kathryn Bosler Michael Marine Best Actors Josephine Russo Ellsworth Faust Most Helpful Mary Neri Francis Cianci Most Cheerful Laura Metzger George McCarron Most Humorous Phil Delmoro Richard Webber Best Athletes Mary Hansell Donald Sands Best Dressed Rosella Gravinese Michael Gravinese Most Ambitious Margaret Gambone Walter Cosier Most Popular Anthony Casinelli Lily Mae Dodsworth 9:02 Students Thomas Bradley Mary Bello Tallest Girl Dolores Strouse Shortest Girl Bernice Starr Class Smiles Gabriel DeLuca Easy to Get Along With Florence Rowinski Florence Magrini Class Cheerleader Shirley Mellor Class Superman Prosper War Class Einstein Robert Kumpf COULD THEY HAVE READ HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE”?

This is one will without an inheritance tax. We, the Class of 1949, on this the twentieth day of May, do hereby bequeath our love of homework, our abundant brains, and our passion for school in general, to the Class of 1950, in the hopes that with rhe aid of these admirable characteristics, they too, may come through with top honors. To the teachers, whom we can never adequately repay for all their kindness and understanding, we leave our best wishes for a more peaceful and quiet school. Franny Altieri and Don Sands bequeath the captaincy of the football team and their excellent ability to stick to one girl to Ben Hannum. We're quite sure of his efficiency on the football field, but when it comes to girls—well—we leave that to the members of his class to decide. We leave Bessie Benedict’s and Anna Carosella's love of school and members of the opposite sex to Joan Sinclair. To Gregory Cardamone we will Richard Dana's tall lankiness. No trouble seeing over everyone else's head now, Greg. Shirley Mellor's much envied taste in clothes and her good figure are willed to Mary Fiorentino. Mary's choice is already good, but we thought this would encourage her to open a dress shop, which should be well patronized. Skippy Dodsworth, that cute twirler with such a sharp” personality, leaves her ability to twirl a baton to our drum majorette, Phyllis Nasielski. We hope this added talent will really make Phil sensational. That one and only Senior boy who seems to have absolutely no interest in girls, James Carpenter, leaves to George Sands his ability to resist the charms of our C. H. S. lassies. Angie Lelii bequeaths her would-be old position at Woolworth's to Genevieve Ricci. That feeling for a certain stockboy is not included in this arrangement, however. In the music department we will Squeak Magrini's talents as a pianist to Gloria Houck. We'll be seeing your name in lights! To Raymond Graham we leave that ever-present toothpick of Mutt Lake. Bill Speaker, that little guy with the gift of gab, leaves his friendly association with the teachers to Urban DiPasquale, who we hear can surely use it. The eternal long hair-do of that sweet Senior, Phil Delmoro, we bequeath to Gilda DiCicco. Phil is one girl who has defied the style. The masculine good looks of Lenny Sukalski we leave to that already good-looking Junior, Stan Symanski. Time out for sighing, girls! Hannah Holland wills the tree in front of the Haywood property to Jean Winners; but of course, that does not include her one and only. Jean could use a little steady interest, we're sure. To Bob Weidner we bequeath Anthony Casinelli's ability to sink those shots and his way with women, although in Waggy's case it's his way with the woman.” The sweet quiet manner of Sylvia Caruso and Gloria Knoeller we will to Babe Pagliaro and Theresa Galie. Need any more be said? That pleasant smile ever-present on Rose Marie Celani's face we will to Louis Mar-tinelli, who already has such an engaging one. George McCarron wills his ability to tell corny jokes to Charles McCurdy. Laugh, girls, laugh! Contenders for an Academy Award Esther Maggio leaves her dark hair and height to that petite Junior, Carol Lobb. Franny Petruccelli leaves his honorable position as usher at the Riant to his buddy, Joe Bukowski. You may show me to a seat anytime, Joe! To Marjorie Quigg we will some of Rita Manzi's vim, vigor, and vitality. You’d better take it in small doses at first, Margie. Anthony Frabezio's excellent ability to stay out of trouble, we leave to Jimmy DeVitis. Get him to show you his technique, Jimmy. To Fay Righter and Marion Murray we will Sylvia Whitman's and Ann Pettine’s ability to hold their men.” They’re not doing so badly in that department already. Tiger Cosier leaves his aggressiveness on the football field to Bob Dempsey. Maybe he’ll also leave you his talents as a comedian. Ruth Davis’s knack for saying what she thinks at any time or place we bequeath to Marilyn Law. Remember, she’s got the Law behind her! John D'Annunzio leaves his black wavy hair to Charles Foster. Most women like men with curly hair, boys. The well-known secretarial abilities of Babs Clark and Dot Grablewski, we leave to Grace Blair. Mike Gravinese wills his title as Class Clown to Bill Mattson. Rosella Gravinese's and Betty Andry’s honorable positions as high school reporters for the Conshy Blabber we leave to two lucky students in the Junior class. The prize English student in the Senior Class, Tom Bradley, wills his conscientious ability to invariably get his book reports in on time to Adam Pagliaro, who we hear is another whiz at English. To David Rutter, the Casanova in the Junior Class, we bequeath some of Jakie Freas’s shyness. We leave Kathryn Bosler’s dancing talents to Maurice Gavaghan. Maybe we have another Gene Kelly in our midst. To Theresa Barbato we bequeath Anita Talone’s outstanding ability to get to school just one second before nine o’clock. This record’s hard to beat. Josie Russo’s literary talents we leave to Robert Traister. Maybe you’ll earn the honor of being Class Poet, too. We will Henry Shemanski's humor to Laurence Taylor. With him around no class is boring! Floss Rowinski, who always has a pleasant smile for everyone, leaves her friendly personality to Ann Waters. We will Mary Bello's joviality and contagious giggle to Joy Dobbs. There’s never a dull moment with Mary around. The pleasant good manners of James Suber we leave with Donny Connicelli. We will some of Laura Metzger’s refreshing cheerfulness to Shirley Montgomery. Doris Webster's position as accompanist for the Assembly programs we bequeath to Joyce Fetter. Finally to Bob Lorenz we leave Richard Webber’s brand of humor and capacity for figuring out those physics and chemistry problems. We hereby do appoint Mr. Humphrey Z. Bettlebom as the sole executor of this, our Last Will and Testament, to which we have affixed our names this twentieth day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty-nine. Margaret Gambone As a seer, Webber is tops. CLASS PROPHECY I stop at the “Clark Dairy” on my way into town. Norman Clark has retired from his duties as admiral of the world's navies and is now relaxing on his dairy farm. Stanley Stachelek is the chief squirt. I wonder what that enormous building with the huge smokestacks is that I see out back. Norm tells me that it is the home of the “Olszta Atomic-Powered Spitball Plant.” Enrico DeAngelis is the mechanical brain behind it and Vor-ginia Cressman is the one in charge of the scientific aspect. Ed Olszta merely sits, counting the money. As I continue on my way to Conshohocken, 1 feel that I may as well read the paper. It doesn't surprise me at all to see that Francis X. Cianci is the editor-in-chief of the only semi-daily newspaper in the world. I see by the headlines that Esther Stutsman and Margaret Gambone have just bought out the Five and Ten. Everything they sell is Wool-worth the money. I must be seeing double, because right next to that I read that Nancy Malantonio and Eleanor Earle have bought out Mr. Sun Ray. They just couldn't continue working for $3-50 a week. I also see that Painless Prosper War, the dentist, is going to receive a degree at Conshohocken College. As I have been having trouble with my teeth, I head for his office. He proceeds to hack and chisel away, ably assisted by his efficient nurse in overalls, Dina Salvati. It actually doesn't hurt at all, but no wonder—he shook hands with me as I entered and there is no feeling left in my body. Now I am headed for Conshohocken College to see about acquiring some higher education, but 1 am stopped at the sight of a huge throng clamoring to gain admittance to the community gymnasium. Naturally I follow the crowd and find the reason for the excitement. The two top professional basketball teams in the country are having practice. The one team is composed of just two members, Leroy Dann and George Weidamoyer, but each is nine feet tall. They must be good as it costs $1.50 just to watch them practice. They are undefeated in thirty-two thousand games. Their opponent for the evening's big game will be the West Coast Women's Wonders coached by Dolores Strouse and featuring their eight-foot center, Bernice Starr. They even have their cheering squad along, consisting of Mary Hansell, Mary Hansell, Mary Hansell, and also Mary Hansell. This team has the world's highest paid manager, Mary Neri, who received $300,000 a year. Esquire and Seventeen I continue up the street and about two blocks away I see a ten-foot neon sign which blinks the words, America's Greatest Hairdressers. As I pass, I see that its proprietors are Walter Jablonski and Janice Sinclair. Rudy Lincul is their technical advisor and as an extra feature they have that master manicurist and shoe shiner, Bob Kumpf. I hear a great commotion going on upstairs and Bob tells me that it is only Sonny's Finishing School for Dogs, run by Charles Sutera. I see one of his before and after” ads. Before is a picture of a dog named Roger Kilvara, and after only six weeks he had trained it to look like its master. Leaving here 1 finally arrive at Conshohocken College. I go into the president's office and am agreeably surprised to find that it is Dolores Hess. She says that she will be glad to show me around and let me meet some of the faculty of the college. I first meet the history professor, Charles LaPenna, and his assistant, Barbara Risell. The dean of music turns out to be none other than Betty Anne Caulston who states, Everything I am or hope to be in music I owe to Sears Roebuck Co.’ On my way to the next hall I meet Gabe DeLucca who has finally achieved his one ambition, to become great. He is now the most outstanding janitor at the college. Who can laugh at $50,000 a week? I am glad to meet the gym instructor and head of athletics, Frank Matia. He tells me that none of his teams in any sport has lost a game in ten years. He does have to admit, though, that his poker club had been tied once. The next hall is the hangout (pardon me), the classroom of the speech classes. Their speech instructors, I find, have travelled around the world three times on lecture tours and have been called the platinum-throated orators. I can hardly recognize Charles Rieger and Florence Prusinowski. Dolores now introduces the professor of a new language which is being taught at the college. She is Veronica Wisniewski, and the language which she teaches is a cross between English, Polish, and West Conshy jabber. The last professor 1 meet is Margaret Taylor, head of the typing department. She is now on an indefinite vacation because she is practicing in hopes of beating the world’s record of 357% words per minute made by Genevieve Bowe. I thank Dolores and am off to get something to eat. As I finished my meal early I decide to go to the theater. The largest theatre in town is Marine's Variety Vaudeville House” which stretches for six and a half blocks. 1 go to see the manager, Mr. Michael Marine, who (bless his little heart and liver) gives me a free ticket for the evening performance. As I go to my seat, he tells me that the show promises to be exceptionally fine. The first act is a singer who, all the critics agree, is much better and more popular than Sinatra. He is the very famous Alex Pike, singer supreme. The second act is quite a bit different because usually one doesn’t see ballet performed in a variety house, but this dancing trio is extremely light-footed and they dance and leap around like nymps. Since I am sitting in the back I have trouble in seeing that they are Roy Todd, Joan Denendo, and Pete Gravinese. I awaken to find that I have slept through some of the acts, but this one is most unusual. It consists of two singers, a male soprano and a female bass, who not only sing duets but also chew 22 sticks of bubble gum at the same time. Sure enough, it is the incomparable Minnie Tollis and the incomprehensible Ellsworth Faust. The following act is called, Barbara Slanga and Her Trained Dogs.” It is really terrific and I hear that all the dogs are graduates of Sonny's Dog Finishing School. At the close of Barbara's act, all the dogs leave the stage except one which starts to sing popular songs—pardon me—that is no dog, it is Rita lanni the next act. She is said to have learned to sing by serenading Stoop. This next act has two excellent jugglers. I can see very clearly that they are Margaret Winterbottom and Mary Bertino, but I can’t quite make out what they are juggling. Oh—now I can make it out—it is none other than Pearl Kateusz. I’ll have to be running along now. Never a dull moment. First Row: R Graham. P. Marine. R. Dempsey. R. Vandergrift, N. Quigg. H. Ramey W. Culp. Second Row: Mr. Assistant Coach; A.

They eat their Wheaties Bernard Kornberg Born—June 17, 1931 IN MEMORY . . . By Grace Blair Last night as I sat thinking of The tragedy at hand, I put my thoughts on paper To better understand. How much we miss our classmate Mere words cannot express, But we must try to realize God’s will is for the best. I've tried to seek the reason for The swiftness of his fate, But who are we to question The wishes of the Great. We know that Heaven holds him now But, we will always see His friendly smiles and kindly words In our fond memories. So, in closing you must see. We think the world of you, And so I dedicate this poem From all, Bernard, to you. The day we have long awaited, Commencement day. We leave our beloved school to the refrain of our class song, written by Betty Ann Coulston. I Goodbye, dear Alma Mater, our high school days have passed, And each of us has memories that will forever last; The standards that we had to meet were measured through the years; The heights were climbed and victory won with mingled joys and fears. II The fun we had together in classroom or at play, Made light the task of study and helped us on our way; And through the years before us in a world so large and bright, May the lessons we have learned in school remain a beacon light. III And as we forty-niners' leave to tread a path unknown. May we ever heed the warning that there to us was shown; Alma Mater, how we love you, as we from your portals pass; May the lessons you have taught us lead us on to higher paths.
