meowtev 985 MARIO DE ANTONELLIS, who is making a terrific salary modeling tall men's clothes. Mario purchases his clothing from ESAU WASHINGTON'S famous line of f'Tall Men's Wearfl BETTY SELF is employed as Esauls secretary. We left the girls and visited the other sections of the museum. There was a beautiful bronze plaque on the wall. It was dedi- cated to JOHN WIESSNER, the great composer of that real cool music called rock 'n roll. Man that's the greatest, ain't it cats? Carnegie Hall, here comes John! We left the museum, and since it was such a lovely day, we were determined to stroll through the city park. The green grass and large billowy trees, the birds chirping and the bees buzzing, the flowers of many different hues lent themselves to Nature and all its splendor. While admiring Mother Nature's work, we met ELAINE HILL and SHARON UMOSELLA. They are teachers in elementary schools, and were taking their pupils on a hike. We also met some members of a bird-watching society that were in the park at that time. DOUG DE GOLIA and JOHNNY GRAFF we found to be the most devoted. They are truly ded- icated to the art of studying their line feathered friends. Walking down the street after leaving the park, we saw a sign advertising a newly opened dancing school, directed by JOHNNY CONSTANT. We visited Johnny at his modem studio, which was decorated fabulously. We were very surprised to see RITA ALLOWAY and ROSE MARIE VITUCCI trying to learn the skill of the mambo, rumba, etc. They now work as secretaries in the Primrose Glue Factory. We only had to walk three blocks to get our bus and as we passed BRENDA JACKSON'S Pizzaria we gazed in the window and saw ROSE ANN IRWIN, now a lieutenant in the Women's Air Corp, and PAT MATSINGER, who is the social director on the Queen Mary. Our bus was late and we were all set to complain bitterly un- til we found out the driver was ELWOOD NIURRAY. We met PAT WOOD and PENNY WYATT returning from work. We had a short conversation and learned that they both work as li- brarians. We got off at our stop and bought a popular magazine at the comer newstand. As we leafed through it, we passed an article entitled, K'I'll be Home for Christmas, written by MIRIAM LATVA. Miriam is now a well-known journalist. RAY SAUN- DERS, the policeman directing trallic motioned for us to cross the street. The movie we saw was Platinum Blond, starring that famous movie actress, DEANE ALBRECHT. The second feature was comedy titled, Smoke Gets in Their Eyesf' It starred GERI CIANCIO and CAROL BUSCH. After 25 years, they're still go- ing strong. Collecting money at the box office was MARY LIG- AMERI, who was married right after graduation to a serviceman. As we entered, we were blinded by a flashlight. It was RAY SHONE, who manages the theater. We were ushered to our seats in the front, beside of all people, SANDY SIMMONS and BOB COWDRIGHT. They invited us to visit them as soon as possible at their ranch type home in the suburbs. As the news flashed on the screen, we listened attentively to the world affairs of today. NICKY VITUCCI, the third spzlceman to leave for the moon this year, will join TONY DIGEROLAMO who left earlier this month. NANCY BRYSON, housewife and mother of three children, has also distinguished herself in the news. Nancy has discovered a new way to make apple pie, it tastes just like stewed apricots. BOB WARD is the first New Jerseyite who has lost his driverls license by accumulating 48 points over a 12 month period. A huge chemistry laboratory has exploded in Pennsylvania. NORMA GOTO, famed chemist, is now wondering what hap- pened. GEORGE SMITH, lightweight wrestling champion quite a number of years ago, is retiring. Making the news also was that famous orator TOMMY GEORGE, who gave a speech two months ago on K'The Silent Man's Philosophy. BARBARA SCOTT, Heiress to the Scott Paper I'owe1'5 Corporation, has eloped with the family chauffeur. After the newsreel, we watched the sports events. JIMMY WRIGHT is now the basketball coach at Chirgalantu University in Outer Mongolia. - Next, we saw a review of former Olympic stars. The list con- sisted of KENNY BAYLOCK, one time famous track champion. Ken's home contained trophies of every size and shape. BILL ROSS, a terrific wrestler in his day, is now retired, and living a life of ease on an island in the Pacific. We wonder if Bill remem- bers 25 years ago when he said he'd be sweeping floors at Edge- wood. RONN IE VOLKERT, one time basketball star, was mar- ried a few years ago to her high school boy friend, BILL CRAIG. They had a long courtship because Bill had joined the Navy after graduation and was shipped to Siberia. The movies were very enjoyable, but we didn't stay for the secl ond show. We were starving! One of us suggested a darling little place where they specialized in home style meals. It was called K'Anna Mae's. We didn't realize 'till later that the proprietor was ANNA MAE FABRICO. She was an old friend of ours, so of course, everything was on the house. Anna Mae told us she is making thousands out of a chain of these darling little places. At one of the tables we noticed MARTHA GUY and JOHN SYKES. Martha told us that she is working in a hospital nearby and John is employed as an orderly at the same hospital. We checked in at the Brimfield Hotel rather late. TOM BRIMFIELD, a friend of ours and owner of this beautiful hotel, was rather busy so we did not see him at all. BILL HINCH, a well-known stock car driver, was staying at the same hotel. GEORGE TOON is Bill's personal mechanic. We've been told that George has the magic touch when it comes to engines. We rose early in the morning because we decided to visit our dear old Alma Mater. Driving to Edgewood we had an opportunity to listen to that ever popular Country Music played by HARRY LONG. we re- member when rock'n roll used to be popular. Well, that went out with Beatniks and black leotards! When the hourly news rolled around, we tuned in to BILL SCHWARTZ, he always gives the latest, up-to-the-minute news. At Edgewood, we noticed that a new addition had been added to the school to meet the demands of our ever-increasing com- munity. CHICK CALABRIA is the brilliant engineer we have to thank for that very attractive addition. Of course, we visited the Main Office first, where JOAN TOM- LIN greeted us. She has been working as the Principal's secretary for ten years now. At the nursels office we found ESTHER FILLIS trying to persuade a little 7th grade boy to roll up his sleeve so the doctor Could give him his polio shot. JANET TOWNSEND was in the gymnasium coaching the Var- sity Girls' basketball team. After college, Janet came back to Edgewood to teach Physical Education. Jan told us PAUL MAURIELLA was head of the Athletic Department, Paul has had a non-defeated football squad for the last four years. We decided to observe JEAN MOORE'S English class. She was teaching Macbeth. I guess Jeanie really remembers how well her senior English teacher taught it to her, because she certainly is trying to copy his technique. We had no intention of missing the assembly that was to be put on by the Music Department, so we hurried to the auditorium. DOT BATTEE was conducting the chorus marvelously. The mel- ody of each song was enchanting. Dot certainly had done won- ders with this chorus. We left Edgewood after looking over the rest of the school and reviewing fond memories like the Senior Activity Room where we congregated much too often, the cafeteria where we had our Junior Ring Dance, Megaphone Mingle, and our Senior Prom. The most rewarding thing we discove. 2d during our tour was to find each and every classmate happier and healthier than ever. 'KParting is such sweet sorrow. 59
