The meetings began early in February and were called to order during the Junior Assemblies by our president, Joe Spenard, who was also the president of the fraternity, Sigma Gamma Aepsilon. The vice-president. Jane Cowell. came to Eastwood when she was in the seventh grade, being in such activities as the Red Cross and Tri-Y Alpha. The girl who so faithfully kept the minutes of the Senior Class was Martha Helwick. She also took part in several of the school activitiesg namely, the Red Cross, Student Council, and the Girls' League. Last but not least is Duane Merritt, who ably handled the funds for the Senior Class. The outstanding event of the class was the Senior Ball. This was a magnificent affair, in spite of the fact that it was held in the gym of the school. All attending were impressed and on the whole it was a huge success. The Senior Class also contributed for the benefit of the Red Cross. As the years roll along, we hope the members of this class will tuck aside a few memories and happy thoughts of the good old days at East- wood High School. Twenty-one

func 611155 Praphecy JAMES STREET JOURNALIST By E. H. SCHOOL june 27, 1955 .... Last night was the opening of the Twilight Roof in the Hotel james, corner of Nichols and Sunnycrestg but before I de- scribe the event, there are a few interesting facts and faces about this hotel that should be noted. The million-dollar Hotel james is owned by that enterprising execu- tive, George Mahshieg the money for the building was loaned by Rolland Kisselstein, the railroad tycoon, who had his investment trebled because of Mr. Mahshie's expert business judgment .... The general manager of this exclusive edifice is joe Emore: .joe sells tickets to all the impor- tant theater and musical events in the city to the guests as a profitable sideline. tHe developed his super-salesmanship under the guidance of Mr. D. P. Hughes way back in the good old high school daze. j . . . Mary Ann jones and Kathleen McDougall are the heads of the secre- tarial staff, while Helen Riley handles the vast bookkeeping department and with the countless thousands of people who wear out this lobby rug each year the business organization needed here is tremendous .... Down in the kitchens Bertha Smith, state-wide famous dietitian, oversees the production of the excellent food for thc European plan guests .... -jane Collins is the diminutive director of the all-girl bellhop and ele- vator staff, while Barbara Loveless is the gracious hostess that greets james guests. The Twilight Roof, which was designed by Mildred Miller, nationally known decorator for commercial companies, has Ray Hanlon in charge of the Roof and Ray's original ideas made the opening a social success. . . . Brunette Anna Mae Santola broadcasted over the four-station net- work the featured orchestra of the evening, Art johnson and his john- sonite Artists with the new songsation, Marie Masucci as his versatile vocalist ..... A mong the first people to appear on the Twilight Roof were june Kath, brilliant electronistg Robert Newton and Byron Dame, equally brilliant scientists. Miss Kath invented the electronic elevator eye, the device that stops cars exactly at the floor level instead of half an inch below or two inches above, while Newton and Dame have just perfected their Newday process, a treatment that makes furniture, walls, and all wood fireproof. The -james incorporates both of these features. Over at a corner table sat former -janicerae Howard and Alice Bru- baker, wives of college instructors at Syracuse University. who are col- laborating on a new series of books on The Ideal Home and Care of Children. .... A ctress Enola Ausman appeared for the opening with john Constance, Clark Gable's protege, after finishing the new picture, Kiss for the Coed, on the coastg the picture is the story of Enola's life as a coed at Syracuse University, where she was discovered when chosen Queen of the Campus .... jean Davies and jim Dickson shared a table for two. jean is physical education teacher on the Hill, while jim is head coach of the Orange's winning sports squads .... Right by the orchestra sat the Cllle quartet composed of local schoolmarms: Dolores Losito, Beverly Riddler, Sally Slack, and Marilyn Stitt. These teachers are the first in Syracuse to use the new educational methods devised by Professor jack Vander Veer, local school superintendent. who also revolutionized the system with a four-dav weekend for senior classes. Don Phillips, new president of the Technology Club, came with Anson Piper, curator of the new Syracuse Museum of Natural Science: Mr. Piper was given this position as a reward for discovering and naming a new bone in the front leg of a guinea pig. Don't know whether it was business or pleasure that made john Banuski, editor of the leading city newspaper, Herald-journal-Standard, only paper printed twice daily, with morning and evening editions, stop at the table of Carol Bechard and Dick Donovan. Carol Bechard is the author of Freight Train Tour, the record of this well known radio- newspaper commentator's informal jaunt across the U. S. Dick Ace Donovan writes a syndicated sports column of the nation's sports for the New York papers, The Herald-Tribune, the Times, and the Sun. with Carol and Ace were renewing old acquaintances while stopping in town. With john was his own star reporter, Betty Greene. Charlene Sanford, president of the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany, shares a suite here at the james and a table on the Roof with her close friend and private secretary, Gloria De Metrio .... Information, Thanks, the new radio quiz program, brought all its contestants over Tzurnfy to the T.R. after the program. This week's contestants were: Barbara Davis, attractive movie and book reviewer for the Heraldzjournal- Standard: Betsy Lombard, exclusive buyer for Addis, Flah, Inc.3 Ruth Schlien, concert oboe player: George Davis, author of The Treasure Chest of Poetry g Bob Gardner, originator of Wvorld WVar II's army de- mobilization plan: and Mitchell Gay, mathematician and only living person who understands Einstein's theory of relativity, not excluding Einstein .... Bill Tremmel, Edward Bobrycki and Frank Valenti, speech art experts and founders of Radio-Record Voice Culture School, the school that specializes in people with southern drawls, were here with their secretary, Virginia Chookasian. Miss Chookasian takes 200 words a minute in shorthand to keep up with these speed-speaking specialists .... jack Waters, aeronautical engineer, brought a party of co-workers from his new jet-propulsion airplane plant: among these were his blueprint draftsman, Ralph Perrin, and the only woman test pilot, Shirlie Wilton .... Fred Hollister, agrarian expert and Secretary of Agriculture, is having his upstate farmhouse remodeled and redeco- rated by Marilyn Stedmen, whose own reiuvenated rural dwelling ap- pears in the june Better Homes and Gardens. . . . Uncappa Coca Cola, the business girls' sorority, held its annual convention at the .james and the final dinner dance was held on the Roof. The main speaker was Margaret Esser, competent secretary to the President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Miss Esser is having a short sojourn in the city before returning to start work on the President's election cam- paign for '56. Sorority president, Nicoletta Riverson, also introduced june Smith and Betty Apikian, directors of Powelson and C.C.B.I., re- spectively. Among the members present were Eleanor Dillon, Nancy Matrone, Betty Hall, Denisse Vlassopulos. Rose Majewski, Lois Mac- Dougall, Virginia Deisn, Gloria johnson. I'at Crean, Irene Kolesa, and Irene Pedzick .... Frank Ippolito and Tommy Quinn have started a school for tired business men: for 33500 they'll teach you how to relax- by being just plain lazy, part of the course includes a visit to every night club in town, and this accounts for their appearance at the Twi- light Roof .... Duane Clark, K.M.I. instructor, and john Caesar, fa- mous for his winter home at the corner of Hollywood and Vine, squired those two stunning Powers' models, janet Q Choo-Choo j Clark and Marge f Dusty j Kennedy, to the opening night. The gorgeous girls' clothes were designed by Dot Breh in her exclusive New York shoppc, and their hair-do's were created by Edith Avery, also of New York .... jean Duplessis and joyce Crowley took a night off from their Glamour Is Our Business School, the school whose aim is to give all business teachers new charm and personality .... Phyllis Kessler is here also: she is one of the ten best dressed women in the world and has just returned from a trip to Paris to select her summer wardrobe .... Phyllis traveled on the Queen Elizabeth, Millard Buttel's and Vartan Kyoomjian's new- est luxury liner. These two ambitious fellows started out with a Criss- Craft Company and expanded to the present trans-oceanic steamship line .... Other travelers on the Queen Elizabeth were Genevieve Cas- sidy, Leila Whitson, jane Walsh, 'jane Buckel, Virginia Thompson, Ardith Randall, Elaine Dillon, and Gertrude Sherman. This contingent of nurses is returning from Europe where they did noble work in the rehabilitation and construction of health centers after World XVar II. At the invitation of Edna Slentz, director of nursing at Syracuse Univer- sity, these nurses came to Syracuse for a discussion with Rosemary Reale, public health commissioner of New York State: Helen Serijan, director of nursing at Bellevue Hospital in New York City: and Mary Ashmore, director at Russell Sage School of Nursing. This healthy group all at- tended the opening together .... Another healthy individual at the affair was Doris Anderson, who has just returned from a Euro-Asia bicycle trip to assume her post as new field director of the American Youth Hostel .... The last group I noted at the Twilight Roof was Don Ayling and his right and left hand men, Sam Iacone and Donald Davis. This colorful trio has just returned from South America, where they constructed a huge bridge across the Amazon River to connect two government-owned rubber companies. This concludes the notables at the opening of the Twilight Roof at the Hotel james. By a coincidence, all these people are graduates of the june '44 Class of Eastwood High School.
