Friendships formed within these walls are precious; The memories of them will enrich our lives. —Maryann Nuzzo Class Jjistotv FRESHMAN YEAR September, 1952 — Approaching the doors of East Haven High School was a dramatic moment for the Class of 1956. The idea of entering secondary school was rather frightening, yet we were looking forward to four years of new and wonderful experiences. Our first faculty contact was with Miss Yota Bouzoucos and Mr. Frank Crisafi, our class advisors, to whom we were to turn many times for friendship and guidance. As freshmen we were eager to become a part of the daily routine of high school life. The most important scholastic organization to which we might belong was the Junior National Honor Society. James Grignano was chosen president of this important group; Fran Quinlan was elected secretary; and Irene Friberg, treasurer. Other members were Nancy Harrington, Bill Blatchley, Joe Melillo, Ralph Castellon, Sal Storo, Jim Streeto, Martha Brown, Therese Petrillo, and Edgar Surprenant. Soon after classes began, the Student Council, the governing body of the students and student activities, was organized for the coming year. Chosen to present our views at the meetings were Sue Owens, Bill Bennett, Jim Grignano, Jim Criscuolo, Pat Terrace, Fred Parlato, Judy Bunnell, and Nancy Harrington. In the sports field we had many ambitious athletes. On the gridiron were Joel Gustafson, Joe Melillo, Butch Melillo, Charles Borrmann, Don De Angelis, Bill Gin-netti, Bob Brockett, Art Concilio, and Mike Cerrito. Our hoopsters were Ralph Castellon, Joe Melillo, Joel Gustafson, Jim Streeto, Tom Haesche, and Nick Vegliante. Playing baseball were Joel Gustafson, Joe Melillo, Bob Heller, Fred Parlato, and Bob Danehy, who was also a member of the bowling team. At class elections, Joe Melillo was chosen president. Ralph Castellon assisted him as vice president, Irene Friberg took class notes, Mike Pelligrino handled class funds, and, as historian, Sue Owen kept track of important events. Several students from our class displayed their talents in the annual Blue and Gold Varsity Show. Outstanding among the performers was Raylene Hill, who established herself as a first-class comedienne in her Cinderella act. Time was moving on, and our class began to plan for the Freshman Frolic. Pat Grudzinski and Bob Velardi were chosen co-chairmen. Many members worked on the various committees for the carnival style dance, which was a tremendous success. Students attaining high honors were Nancy Harrington, Bill Blatchley, Irene Friberg, Frances Quinlan, Jim Grignano, Frances Scarpace, Robert Danehy, Sherwood Sheades, Edgar Surprenant, Martha Brown, and Rosemarie Balsamo. By now June had rolled around and it was time for summer vacation. We were happy that our first year in high school had been so pleasant and profitable. SOPFIOMORE YEAR September, 1953 — Having experienced the trials and joys of freshman year in high school, we enthusiastically started off our sophomore year by having Sophomore Get-Acquainted Week. Many new students joined our class and we wanted to become better acquainted with them so they would feel at home. This was a very successful endeavor which promoted a spirit of unity and warmer friendship. Class elections were held. Joel Gustafson was elected president; Joe Melillo, vice president; Pat Grudzinski, secretary; Bob Velardi, treasurer; and Marilyn McAuliffe, historian. Chosen as representatives to Student Council were Frances Scarpace, Joan Richards, Frances Quinlan, Nancy Harrington, Joel Gustafson, Jim Grignano, Marcia Yorks, Lester Knapp, Mildred Abner, and Marilyn McAuliffe. In the fall Joel Gustafson, Don De Angelis, Arr Concilio, Charlie Borrmann, Mike Cerrito, Bill Ginnetti, Joe Melillo, A1 Pettinicchi, and Sal Storo were playing football. Higher Faucets Needed. How’s the Test? Where's your pass? Starring on the basketball court were Dick Ezold, Ralph Castellon, Jim Streeto, Joel Gustafson, Butch Melillo, Joe Melillo, and Nick Vegliante. Bringing success to the baseball team were Joe Melillo, Sal Storo, Joel Gustafson, and Butch Melillo. Cheering our team on to victory were Therese Petrillo and Fran Scarpace. A Family Nite was sponsored by our class with Kathy Brcreton and Butch Melillo co-chairmen. With their parents, students participated in sports and games, all agreeing that this was an excellent way of spending an evening. Our interest in school activities was shown by a large membership from our class in the various activities. Among the organizations to which we belonged were the Glee Club, Future Homemakers of America, Spanish Club, Comet , Band, Future Business Leaders of America, and the Varsity Show. Receiving high scholastic honors were Rosemarie Balsamo, Bill Blatchley, Robert Danehy, James Grignano, Nancy Harrington, Carole Martin, Joseph Melillo, Frances Quinlan, and Frances Scarpace. A very enthusiastic committee under Therese Petrillo and Mike Cerrito, co-chairmen, arranged for the Sophomore Hop. Plenty of pizza pie and soda were sold, making the dance a huge success. This social completed a very happy and exciting year. JUNIOR YEAR September, 1954 — The beginning of our junior year marked the passing of the half-way point in our high school career. Now we were sophisticated upperclassmen and chose Mike Cerritto president; Butch Melillo, vice president; Nancy Harrington, secretary; Frances Scarpace, treasurer; and Rosemarie Balsamo, historian, to lead us on to further academic and social triumphs. Again this year our class was well represented in the various sports. The football, basketball, and baseball teams were each successful in gaining the Housatonic League Championships. In addition, the basketball team was crowned state champs for the second time. Cheering for our teams were Captain Therese Petrillo, Ro Balsamo, Joan Richards, and Fran Scarpace. Ardently supporting the cheerleaders was the Pep Club, which was comprised of a number of girls from our class. Jessica Parlato and Jim Streeto headed our second Family Nite. An evening of fun and laughter was enjoyed by students and their parents, especially when they had a chance to throw a fleece ball at Bob Heller, who was our dummy in the African dodge game. Nancy Harrington, Jim Grignano, Raylene Hill, and many others contributed greatly to the success of the annual Varsity Show. One of the big hits of the show was the singing and dancing team, the Diamond Studs, who brought down the house with Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend. Two of the “beauties” were Joe Melillo and Butch” Melillo. Presenting our views at Student Council were Bill Blatchley, Ro Balsamo, Irene Friberg, Fran Scarpace, Ann Sarno, Joan Richards, Therese Petrillo, Mike Cerritto, Charlie Borrmann, Ruth Jacocks, Jackie Kirk, Frances Massaro, Joyce McLay, and Bob Velardi. In May we held the biggest social of our high school careers, the Junior Prom. Frances Scarpace and Joe Melillo were co-chairmen, and their committee consisted of Therese Petrillo, Marilyn McAuliffe, Janet DeSola, Don Thomas, Bill Ginnetti, and Jim Streeto. Moonlight and Magic” was our theme. We held the prom at the Woodbridge Club, and after leaving there, we were guests of the Rotary Club at the Jambor Jive held at Donat's. Marilyn McAuliffe was our beautiful queen and Joel Gustafson made a handsome king. The American Legion announced in May that Joe Melillo, Sal Storo, Jim Streeto, Jim Grignano, Joel Gustafson, Bob Melvin, Bill Blatchley, and Mike Cerrito had been chosen representatives to Nutmeg Boys State. Frances Quinlan and Nancy Harrington were selected for Laurel Girls State. These students spent a week at the University of Connecticut getting actual experience in self-government. For outstanding scholastic work, high honors were awarded to Helen Casey, Jim Grignano, Frances Quinlan, Martha Brown, Bill Blatchley, Charles Brooks, Lynn Broughton, Irene Friberg, Carole Martin, Pat Grudzinski, Nancy Harrington and Joyce McLay. The National Honor Society inducted into its membership Bill Blatchley, Jim Grignano, Frances Scarpace, Pat Barry, Nancy Harrington, and Frances Quinlan. Thus ended our Junior year, full of wonderful experiences. Time was really marching on”. SENIOR YEAR September, 1955 — At last our dream had come true. We were finally Seniors. The goal toward which we had been directing our efforts for the last three years had finally been reached. The five students elected as class officers were Joel Gustafson, president; Sal Storo, vice president; Marie I.andino, secretary; Janet DeSola, treasurer; and Rosemarie Balsamo. historian.

Under the captainship of Therese Petrillo and Fran Scarpace, Joan Richards, Ro Balsamo, Sue Owen, Kathy Brereton, and Irene Friberg enthusiastically cheered for our sports heroes. Mike Cerrito was given the important position of editor-in-chief of the Pioneer. He was one of the hardest workers in our class, and he put untold time and effort into giving our yearbook such a professional look. Rosemarie Balsamo and Jessica Parlato assisted him as Lay-out-editor and business manager respectively. The Traffic Squad, under co-captains Marilyn McAuliffe and Sal Storo, efficiently maintained order in the halls. One of our classmates gained national fame. Eva Aldrich was elected national vice-president of Future Homemakers of America. Janet DeSola was state treasurer. Pat D'Amico won the Betty Crocker Homemaking Award.

Highlighted in the production was the 20th Anniversary of the founding of our school. Tonight marks a turning point in our lives. We are no longer students, but graduates.

Bob. Careful! For many years, there has been pressure applied on the government of the United States to admit Hawaii as a state. Tonight we are very happy to announce that this dream has finally been realized. Now, in the year 1981, we have forty-nine, rather than forty-eight states. Crowds are coming to Honolulu from all over the world to participate in the celebration of this memorable event. Standing down on the docks waiting to greet the visitors as they arrive is Bobby Velardi with his Cocoanut Combo. This is comprised of Roger Taupier, tooting on his rusty clarinet; Frances Scarpace, banging on her untuned piano; Sherwood Sheades, James Criscuolo, and Louis Grimaldi, playing their toy trumpets; and, last but not least, Barbara Behlcr, blowing on her sterling silver saxaphone. My, doesn't Bobby look adorable in his plaid silk Bermuda shorts designed by Addie Cicarella! The luxury liner about to dock is the Brass Rail, and I understand that some of our friends from the Class of 1956 arc among the passengers. Going out to meet the ship on his surfboard is society editor Harry Lage. While the visitors are having their passports checked, let's take a walk along the shores of Waikiki Beach with Hawaii’s star reporter, Joan Raymond, who is after the facts. Be careful! Here comes Donny DeAngelis chasing Helen Casey around the palm trees. And isn't that Bobby Heller sitting up in one of the trees? He must be a plane spotter. Oh no, he’s looking in the opposite direction at the hula queen, Jessica Parlato. She and her little princesses, Ann Sarno, Winnie Roberts, and Gail Wirkus are dancing to Hawaiian rhythm. Aren't they good! Notice the surf board riders, Charlie Borrmann and Mary Kenny. My, aren't they grateful, — but look at who just took a spill, — Mildred Abner. Oh well, Millie, keep on trying. Farther down the beach I see Bill Bennett's Hokey-Pokey Store where Richard Harrison and Bob Nagy are modeling the latest grass skirts for men. As musical background, Freddy Parlato is playing the bongo drums. Outside the shop Elaine Piscitelli is leading a parade in her bikini bathing suit. Following her is Butch Melillo, head coach at Vassar, where he just completed a rugged season. With him are two of his outstanding tackles, Lynn Broughton and Evelyn Zalonski. The Brass Rail is finally docked. Isn’t that Sal Storo, Ambassador to India, getting off with his harem? Four of his bodyguards, Eddie Jackson, Walter Jerz, George Palmer, and Louis Pellegrino are wearing silver sandals and golden earrings. They always were snappy dressers. Here's Jimmy Streeto, popular M.C. for the Sixty-Four Cent Program. Behind him is Rushie Thomas, the delegat from Blurus, that planet discovered by the Class of 1955. Other celebrities present are William Quick, president of the Slow Home Permanent Co.; William Blatchley, athletic director at T.I.M.; Patricia D'Amico, operator at the Streak and Bleach Beauty Parlor; Therese and Ann Petrillo, the famous Phoney Twins; Irene Arabolos, dancing teacher at Bali-Bali U.; and Joe Criscuola, hair stylist from the Mau Mau country. The new arrivals are getting a wonderful reception from Raylene Hill, who is doing the Charleston while Kathy Brereton plays the ukelele. Annabelle Mozillo is passing out lotus blossoms picked fresh this morning by Guy Limoncelli. Too bad Marie Spadaccnta can't be here, but she couldn’t leave her apizza factory. Sue Owen and Joe Melillo wanted to join us for the fun, too, but you know how eight children tie you down. Most of the people seem to be staying at the Hula Hotel. Flight nurses Margaret Burns and Pat Terrace arc at the desk registering now. And I see Eva Aldrich, the newly elected president of the Future Home Wreckers of America. She is walking down the lobby with Joy Zabski, charter member of the Get-Someone-Elsc-to-Do-It Club. Jo Ann Storo, the typical tourist, is all tangled up in her camera and binocular straps. Bell hops Lois Fritzell and Martha Brown are carrying in Robert Brockett’s luggage. And Hawaii's answer to Davy Crockett — Art Bean — just left his bamboo blow gun in the check room. Outside the hotel, crowds are lining the streets to witness the firing of a twenty-two gun salute. Frank Ferraiola is in charge of the blast. Cruising by in his sight-seeing bus is Mike Pellegrino with Irene Friberg announcing the items of interest over her megaphone. Elaine Burke just chugged along in a beach-buggie. She can’t get a license for a car because she never passed Driver Education. On the corner, Jungle Joe Corso is selling cocoanut milk to Laurie Burton and Betty Cook, two mermaids from Momauguin. The entertainment in the park is about to begin. But there’s been an accident! Up on the platform James Grignano has fallen over his sheet music. Fortunately Rosemarie Balsamo caught him and has carried him to the veterinarian, Dr. A1 Pettinicchi. The next act should be Nancy Harrington, but she can’t go on until she finds her green feathers. It’s Dick Ezold, tossing a beach ball through a pineapple ring. What shooting! Now Lester Knapp, Welter Weight Champion, will fight it out with Joe Brady, National Bowling Champion. What a contest! Other islands besides Hawaii are celebrating, and Charlie Brooks is making a fortune in sea-shells running a raft to Oahu and back. The official paddlers are Pat Barry and Janet DeSola. Holding up the mast are Josephine Apuzzo and Mary Breymeyer. Across the water comes a weird cry. Could it be? Yes, it's Mickey Amendalo serenading Judy Bunnell from the top of Diamond Head Mountain. There’s to be a big iuau” on the beach tonight. Tom Haesche will supply the Haesche candy bars, and Kit Leeper has already shipped in bananas from her plantation. Jim Grimm has a bonfire going so we can roast clams. The waiters, Francis Wilson and Nick Vegliante, are passing out pineapple juice. Chef Sal Corso and his assistants, Bob Brockway, John Zito, and Bob Wardle, prepared a wonderful feast, especially without any recipes. Look who just arrived! The president of the Marilyn Perillo fan club — the New pupil? Easy now! Comet editors. perennial bachelor himself, Joel Gustafson. And Robert Melvin has presented Kathi Morgan with an orchid lei”. Ralph Castellon is playing a guitar solo while Lennie Pecoraro scatters pearls among the audience. At the Snack Bar are Bob Danehy with his short order nurses, Marge Baker and Pat McCarthy. These three can doctor up any meal. Ralph Thomas and William Welch had planned on coming too, but they can’t find their way out of that volcano they have been exploring. Edgar Surprenant and Tommie Gallegher are organizing a searching party to go after them. Maryann Nuzzo is going along with her walkie-talkie to record the rescue, and Frances Quinlan will be with her to apply First Aid. Wish them luck. The day passes so quickly, and now it is time for the passengers to return to the ship and home. Joan Richards and Pat Reading are having a heated discussion with Captain Dan Magna because he won’t let them bring all their cocoanuts aboard. Carole Martin and Joyce McLay won’t get on themselves if they wait to write post cards to ALL the fraternities at UConn. Farewells are over now. The ship is leaving Honolulu while Carol Fraenza is singing Waikiki Will Miss Me”. Nonie Flynn and Jackie Kirk would like to wave goodbye to her, but they’re too tired. There’s Art Concilio running up the gangplank. Oops! Too bad it had been taken away. Everyone is collapsing in the lounge chairs — except Eunice Swanson and Marcia Yorks. They’re out on deck doing push-ups. What is that splashing in the water? Why, it’s Jean Thomas and Marilyn McAuliffe swimming out to catch the ship. They just hated to leave. Ruth Jacocks is teaching in East Haven, you know, and took 35 students on the trip with her. What fun she must have had! Here comes the steward, Charles Panico, with a radiogram. It's from Theresa Tomaso. She was en route from Alaska to the celebration with Gabe. but their dog sled broke down. June Libby isn’t returning with us to the States. She found out she really owns Libby’s Pineapples and has taken over the canning company. It has been a wonderful celebration. I’m so glad that Hawaii has been admitted as a state. We'll feel at home any time we go there, too, as several of our classmates are staying on. Mike Cerrito has been appointed Head Beachcomber; Ronnie Swanson has the umbrella concession there; and Joe DePoto is operating an oyster bar. Marie Landino. always the perfect secretary, has taken notes on all the activities and will send a souvenir copy to each one of us. And tonight be sure to watch Tim Brown’s television show because Pat Grudzinski and Tiny Massaro are going to dramatize some of the highlights. It will be fun to sit back and relive these pleasent experiences. So, until we can get together again, let’s say as the Hawaiians do, Aloha” and Leylani” to you all. •J I CSV t f4 00 Aot nuL.«u-O ARITY fts V V 0 ZoGlRT C.LfVSS West vuC vXN« $ ?OUGv T©� 4 MoR6roi fWU.'f N ftf fVJwfr I £ 0© JtV RO lj Stsr P T 6 0O-Z.� USY A FpiSWOKl ?V-ftTt GGEST EftTtRS glutograpf - Mnberdas men Junior FACULTY ADVISORS Miss Loretta Nawacki, Mr. Edward Levy.
