CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN YEAR Looking back to our first year of high school, we can still remember how excited we were. It was the beginning of an altogether new world for us. We had the Title of Freshman which we lived up to by acting and thinking with better judgment. The voice of our class spoke through Carole Walsh, William Rosenquist, Carol Bishop, Rody Ber-tolini and Ralph Streeto as members of the Student Council. One of the most wonderful things that could happen to us was to belong to the Junior National Honor Society. Inducted into this group were Kay Lawler, Ted Sullivan, Jo-anne Wolfe, Carol Bishop, Rody Bertolini, Mike Paolillo, Theresa Cricchi, Marie Altrui, Barbara Brinkman, Neal Russo, and Elizabeth Kurtz. Among the many other organizations in which we participated were the F.H.A., Art Club, Modern Language Club and the Varsity Show. As the year progresses, our class decided it needed leaders, so we elected to guide us President Ted Sullivan, Vice-President Mike Paolillo, Secretary-Treasurer Carol Bishop. The year passed quickly, and the final big event of our year was the Freshman Frolic . We now felt important about our first real dance. With a committee for decorating the gym and Rody Bertolini chosen as chairman of the dance, we were in a whirlwind of preparations. It was with a sigh of regret mingled with pleasure that we ended our first year of high school. SOPHOMORE YEAR We began our Sophomore year with a better understanding of what was ahead of us. The Student Council excelled with Shirley L'Heureux, Roberta Chambers, Frank Keefe, Theresa Cricchi, Mike Paolillo, Carole Walsh, Joanne Wolfe and Mike Brereton as representatives. Our officers were Mike Paolillo, President; James Narracci, Vice-President; Theresa Cricchi, Secretary; and Helen Scillia, Treasurer. The interests of our class-mates were drawn more and more to the various clubs: the Dialectic Society, Glee Club, Art Club, Varsity Show, and Drama Workshop. This year we looked forward with great enthusiasm to the coming football season. We were proud of Hank Luzzi and Butch Orifice, who were on the Varsity team. Our point-making aces on the basketball team were Hank Luzzi, Ted Sullivan, Jim Narracci, Mike Paolillo, and Rody Bertolini, showing what we under-classmen could really do. To aid the baseball team, we had Wink Lawlor, Tommy Mautte, Hank Luzzi, Butch Orifice, and Mike Paolillo. Kay Lawler, Lois Judge and Carol Velardi were chosen as Junior Varsity Cheerleaders. Elected to the Pep Club were Barbara Brinkman, Elizabeth Kurtz, Carole Walsh, Elizabeth DiPalma, Betsy Murray, Jo-ann Wolfe, Theresa Cricchi, Judy Applegate and Marie Altrui to help cheer the teams on to victory. Our year drew to a close with the Sophomore Hop. Chosen as co-chairmen were Elizabeth DiPalma and Butch Orifice. With the combined efforts of an exceliert committee, a successful dance concluded our second year at East Haven High School. JUNIOR YEAR At last we had reached the year in which we to be looked upon as Upperclassmen! Chosen to guide us successfully through our Junior Year were Mike Paoliiio as President; Jim Narracci assisting him as Vice-President; Carol Bishop as scribe; and Marie Altrui in charge of our funds.

Accepted into the National Honor Society were: Ted Sullivan, Mike Paolillo, Marie Altrui, Carol Bishop, Jo-anne Wolfe, Elizabeth Kurtz, Shiela Korngieble, and Barbara Leavstrom. With football, basketball, baseball and cheerleading, our class was kept very busy. Butch Orifice, Hank Luzzi, Ralph Streeto, and Tommy Mautte proved to be very helpful in winning the Housatonic Championship for football. For the basketball team, Ted Sullivan, Mike Paolillo, Jim Narracci and Hank Luzzi were members of the Varsity squad which won the New England State Championship. The boys running around the bases were Mike Paolillo, Jim Narracci, Butch Orifice, Ralph Streeto, Hank Luzzi and Tom Mautte. Our mermen, consisting of Frank Keefe, Richard Carlson, Mike Brereton, Bill Webster, Bill Rosen-quist, Robert Brennan, and Robert Montgomery represented our class very well in the swimming field. Cheering these boys on to victory were the cheerleaders, headed by Kay Lawler with Carol Bishop and Marie Altrui adding their pep. Surely with such support our sports world for the following year looked very promising. The talents of Bill Webster, Lois Judge, Carol Bishop, Joan Bradley, Terry Cricchi, Sidney Clow, Harvey Barker, the Singing Juniors and many others, were well displayed in the Joseph Mayo Blue and Gold Varsity Show. Marie Altrui and Elizabeth Kurtz, of whom we were very proud, were chosen to attend Girls' State, and the eight boys selected for Boys' State were Bill Webster, Jim Curry, Harvey Barker, Jim Narracci, Ted Sullivan, Mike- Paolillo, Butch McQuigan and Hank Luzzi. Another ce'ebrity of the Junior Class was Sybil Provost, who carried oi1’ the duties of State Vice-President of the Future Homemakers of America. For three years we had awaited the coming of the . moi Prom, one of the highlights of our high school career. The Co-Chairmen of our very successful Prom were: Elizabeth DiPalma and Hank Luzzi. This was the first year we had the privilege of choosing a King and Queen ; Frank Keefe made a handsome king with Judy Applegate as his lovely queen. SENIOR YEAR Our Senior year had a good start with the election of Mike Paolillo as president, James Narracci vice-president, Theresa Cricchi secretary, and Frances Lombardi treasurer. The Student Council was in the able hands of Frank Keefe president, Robert Standish vice-president, Carole Walsh secretary and William Webster treasurer. Many activities claimed the attention of our class, among them the Football Formal with Billie DiPalma chosen queen, and a magazine drive conducted by the Student Council for the Joseph Mayo Scholarship Fund. The Future Homemakers of America, with Carole Walsh elected for the honor of State President, claimed several of our Senior girls. The Future Business Leaders of America chose Marie Altrui as Miss Business Leader of '55 to represent them. Chosen for co-captains of this year's Traffic Squad were Linda Jacobson and James Narracci. Hank Luzzi and Butch Orifice, co-captains, led the football team through a successful season to win the Housatonic League Championship. The members of the team were Rody Bertolini, Ralph Streeto, Thomas Mautte and Tommy Ude. Edmund Sullivan was the captain of the varsity basketball team which won the Class B New England State Championship. Aiding him were Hank Luzzi, Mike Paolillo, and James Narracci. Cheering our boys on were Lois Judge, Kay Lawler, Carol Bishop, Marie Altrui, Elizabeth DiPalma, Dot Vogt, Frances Lombardi, and Carol Velardi. Working capably in the background was the Pep Club. Under the leadership of Barbara Brinkman and Carole Walsh these girls, Elizabeth Kurtz, Betsy Murray, Jo-anne Wolfe, Theresa Cricchi, and Judy Applegate, did a wonderful job in helping the teams and the cheerleaders. Our year book, the Pioneer, had such capable students as Elizabeth DiPalma, Editor in Chief; Marie Altrui, Layout Editor; Lois Judge, Art Editor; Carol Bishop, Literary Editor; and Jimmy Curry, Business Manager, besides all the other Seniors on the various committees who helped to make this year's Pioneer a great success. The swimming team, captained by Frank Keefe, won the District Title for the first time. In competition with other divers, Mike Bererton won the New England title for diving. The baseball team this year consisted of Winkie Lawlor, Mike Paolillo, Tommy Mautte, James Narracci, Hank Luzzi, Ted Sullivan, Rody Bertolini, and Butch Orifice doing their best to make runs and pile up the score. Bill Webster and Richard Carlson received top honors for passing the N.R.O.T.C. exams. In two days we shall be graduating, but we could not leave without thanking very sincerely our class advisors. Miss Folsom and Mr. Marone, without whom we would never have had the four wonderful years of high school life that we did have. 32 GRADUATION SONG Words and Music by Lyn Murray With your kind attention we will sing a song, A tribute from our graduating class, We're the lucky ones who managed to amass The credits you have got to pass!

As you know, it was accidentlly discovered by Carol Bishop, Lois Judge, and Ted (The Blur) Sullivan while on a pleasure trip through space. It must have been an unusual experience, making a forced landing on an unknown planet. Speaker 2—Yes, I know. Oh, look! There's Mike Paolillo! He's still a president, but now it's of the United Nations of Blurus. Speaker 3—I'm certainly glad our rocket pilot, Marty Halloran, contacted some of our alumni on earth and brought them here. He always was one to fly high. Speaker 1—Some of our other alumni work on the ship with him. David Cunningham is his co-pilot. Speaker 2—That's right. Jimmy Curry is his radio-man, and Joan Bradley the stewardess. Speaker 3—Many of our old crowd moved up here to Blurus after it was discovered. Jim Narracci, always a leader while we were in school, led the first expedition here with Harvey Barker, Mel Giannotti and Ray Luden. Speaker 1—Look, there's Kay Lawlor and Carol Velardi! I hear they're co-captains of the All-Blurus cheerleading squad. Planning the Prom. Speaker 2—A few of the fellows couldn't make our reunion. For instance. Bill Fruin, Bob Orlande, and Frank Funaro had to stay back on earth and finish working on their secret projecl to reach the moon. I think they call it Foxon. Speaker 3—Did you know that Hank Luzzi is still scoring touchdowns, although now it'� for the Blurus-Bullets. They're playing the Mars-Bars next week. Speaker 1—1 hear Yogi Streeto and Tom Ude are playing for the Bullets, too, and doing real well. Speaker 2—Bill Rosenquist is the Chief of Police here on Blurus and Bill Webster is still chasing fires, but now it's as fire-chief. Speaker 3—Oh, look! Here comes a private space-ship piloted by ace-pilot Dwight Peterson. Movie actress Jo-Anne Wolfe and her director husband, Ellsworth McQuigan, are getting out. Speaker 1—Not long ago, I heard from Shirley L'Heureux, who is married and has three children. She still lives back on earth and told me that radio-energy millionaire Bob Standish has three private secretaries—Marie Altrui, Vivian Zampano, and Barbara Leave-strom. Some people have all the luck. Speaker 2—The latest news I heard over the grapevine was that Bob Brennan and Joyce Rogers had pooled their fortunes and are raising little dollar bills. Speaker 3—Neal Russo and Judy Cross should be arriving any time now on the next scheduled space ship for their annual lecture on Dramatics. It's pretty convenient for them that our reunion occurs during their stay here, isn't it. Speaker 1—1 should say so. Have you heard that Terry Cricchi has been doing quite a bit of singing in the Metropolitan Opera lately, and Sue Mitchell has been roller-skating professionally for a number of years? Just how successful can one be? Speaker 2—Well, one of the most popular boys in our class, Frank Keefe, holds the title, Champion Back-Stroker of the Blurus Olympics. Did you know that he has won five times straight? Speaker 3—Quite a few of the girls are bringing their families to the reunion, you know. Shirley Wardle is bringing her husband and two children, and pert little Fran Lombardi is bringing her husband, J.E., from the class of '54, and their little All-State Candidate. Speaker 1—Poor Dave Wilson! While demonstrating one of his many jokes, for Bill Bone, he slipped and fell, but Liz Kurtz came to his rescue and performed a major operation, leaving him as good as new. Barbara Brown and Elizabeth Herpok were assistant nurses at the operation. Speaker 2—1 hope Billie DiPalma arrives soon so that she can make arrangements for our reunion ball. She always was a whiz at those things. Speaker 3—Some of our classmates remained back at good old East Haven. Tommy Mautte was appointed principal about five years ago. Speaker 1—Yes, and you remember Barbara Plaskon, don't you? She's now head of the commercial department. Dick Carlson took over the science department the same year, and Barbara Funaro teaches art. Speaker 2—Most of our classmates have done all right down on earth. Leonard Orifice is still pushing his teams to victories. He was just cut out to be a coach. Speaker 3—Winky Lawlor's done so well that he's hired Helen Scillia and Anna Marie Catalina as private secretaries just to tell him jokes. Practice teacher takes over. Speaker 1—Have you noticed all the publicity Judy Applegate has given our rejniors ball the last couple of weeks in the Blurus Sentinel ? She makes a wonderful editor. Speaker 2—How could she miss, with those top reporters, Judy Granatu o.'id Brereton? They're just born journalists. Speaker 3—Did you read in the Sentinel that Jacky Carlson's girls' basketbni! team h s been undefeated for two straight years straight? Rose Marie Ryen and Nancy Maisano are her top stars. Speaker 1— Is it true that Shiela Korngiebel is taking Ann Porto's place as coach, seeing that Ann's leaving to be married? Speaker 2—Marie DeFlippo bought a trailer space ship especially for her trip out here. She sent word that she is definitely coming, but she wants to make her husband and family as comfortable as is possible. Speaker 3—Patty Burke and Marilyn Halloran are going to fly up in their own private ship. I can't wait to hear their newest jokes. Speaker 1—It's been reported that Joan Tucker and Virginia Schurk hove been hired os top models for the Karl Thaller and Fred Kronberg Model Agency. Speaker 2—That's nothing—Connie Santanello is top executive of the Pond Lily Tree Experts Association. Speaker 3—Did you know that Ringling Brothers Circus has just hired Sidney Clow as side-show muscle man, and Franz Jauernig as lion-tamer? 41 Cute couples. Speaker 1—Well, that is news. Remember the crack stenographer in our senior class, Geraine Jackson? Is she in great demand! Companies are fighting for her, but she simply refuses to give up married life. Speaker 2—John Muller tried awfully hard to get away from the females, but it was too much for him and he's now a family man. Speaker 3—Did you know that Gloria Onofrio's going to leave the Charm and Fashion Institute she is running to come to Blurus for a few weeks? Her manager, Olivia Muro, will be with her. Speaker 1—Nancy Lamson and Carol Moosdorf were seen one day a few weeks ago, pushing baby carriages down the street. I wonder if they'll be able to make it? I do hope so. Speaker 2—It will be nice if everyone can make it. Bob Montgomery, Jimmy Avitable and Ray Hill have just turned in their latest designs on modern space ships. Speaker 3—Bob Boschen and Henry Warmingham are doing a pretty good business with their motels. They're located on a satelite halfway between Blurus and Earth. Speaker 1—Linda Jacobson's started a new school of modern dancing and has hired as her assistants Carole Walsh, Ann Byrne, and Barbara Brinkman. Speaker 2—Speaking of old grads back on earth, I heard that Jim Jenkins is owner of the First National Store, and Janet Corafeno up and married the owner where she worked during high school. The big wheels of the Pioneer. looker 3—Have you seen the beautiful mansion that Rody Bertolini and Dot Vogt ha'-c bought on Blurus Hill? Some people have all the money. Speaker 1—Sybil Provost and May Paolillo are big executives in the Blurus Video-Phone Cr ip .- y, you know. Speaker 2—1 hear that Judy Campbell, Bert Chambers, and Lois Lapides are making the food in East Haven High School very enjoyable. Speaker 3—In the sports world, Phil Saunders is entering the middleweight ranks. He being managed by Bob Scalesse and trained by Joe Marenno. It looks goodl Speaker 1—You'll never guess what Pat Clark and Betsy Murray teamed up and did. They opened up a beauty parlor and have made a prosperous business out of it. Speaker 2—Virginia Landa, Joan McFarland, and Eleanor Piambino talked their husbands into taking them on a deer hunt not long ago. Speaker 3—Jean Kaczynski is the secretary to vitamin heiress Florence Waterbury, and Pat Reynolds is her consultant. Speaker 1— Doesn't time poss. Before you know it, it will be Carmel Leona's silver wedding anniversary. I'm so happy that her early marriage has been such a happy one. Speaker 2—1 just know our reunion ball will be a terrific success, and I only hope that we can meet again more often in the future. 42 Miss Parker, our nurse. —Goldsmith UNDERCLASSMEN JUNIOR CLASS HOMEROOM 205 First Row, I. to r.: E.
