RICHARDSON THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS ОЕ 1952 wish to express their gratitude to you for your help and understanding. We will strive to maintain the high standards which you and the members of the faculty have established for us. EVERYONE FROM EIGHT TO EIGHTY has heard or read the story of Alice in Wonderland. Alice tried to pay attention to her history lesson, but it was such a beautiful golden afternoon. The laziness of the river and the lovely summer day made Alice very drowsy. Soon she was fast asleep. Alice thought it was very odd when she saw a little white rabbit with a watch in his waistcoat pocket. Indeed, it was very odd to see a rabbit wearing a waistcoat. Thinking he was going to a party, she follows him down a rabbit hole and falls down, down, down, through earth. She finally reached solid ground only to see the rabbit go through a little door too small for her. Some trouble arises because of her size, but soon she is again on the trail of the White Rabbit where she encounters many unexpected and de- lightful experiences. Alice joins the Dodo in a caucus race which gets her nowhere fast. She sees Tweedledee and T weedledum who relate to her the story of the Walrus and the Car- penter. The trail leads Alice to the White Rabbit's house and into the garden of live flowers, where she is considered to be just a weed. She meets the Caterpillar who thinks she recites very poorly. The Cheshire Cat ap- years piece by piece to direct her to the March Hare and the Mad Hatter who are | I І passing the day by having an unbirthday party. Their crazy antics are too much for Alice, so she leaves. She follows the trail to the palace where she ventures into a game of croquet with the Queen. Alice thinks it’s a rather queer game to use cards for wickets, flamingos for mallets, and hedgehogs for balls. The Queen finds Alice very annoying and wants to cut off her head. The King thinks it only fair to have a trial. But without any witnesses, Alice is found guilty and convicted. Luckily for Alice, she awakens just in time, to realize it was all a dream. Unlike Alice, we did not follow a little white rabbit with a watch in his waistcoat pocket into our wonderland of learning. Ours was not a dream. It was a reality. Al- though Alice’s journey through wonderland was adventuresome, she did not obtain the results we obtained. We, the Class of 1952, were rewarded with a fine education and a wonderful future. As you turn the pages, you will encounter Alice and her make-believe characters as they travel hand in hand with the Class of 1952, the underclassmen and the faculty, } through our wonderland of learning.

Some distan the same Pacific waters we see that... V 77 Betty Lou Schmidt is sailing the seven seas in her yacht with an Egyptian mummy (a congenial companion whom she became acquainted with on one of her famed archaeology trips). Oh, Betty just waved and said that she’d passed Carmela Zicaro who was liv ing on a remote island as a hermit (or is that her- mitess). Not far from the island is Patti Campb: who has finally prepared to take a safari to Africa, beginning from Lusaka, South Africa. Our images are rapidly fading and shifting and soon were back in the States. In Washington Josephine Tedesco, President of the United States, is meeting with Angelina Certosimo, Mayor of Wallington; we guess that as soon as Congress woman Jo Ann Labaska arrives, they will tackle the political problems of New Jersey. This important conference is taking place at Lucille D'Aloia's huge mansion in Georgetown. In the Supreme Court, stenographer Rose Ann Montebello is hurrying to finish her work because her plane to New York is Page Forty-six leaving in half an hour. Rose Ann is going to Broadway for the opening of “Paint Your Pushcart”, a new musical comedy starring Barbara Emerick, the sensation of Manhattan! Our looking glass reveals a newsstand on a New York side street. A copy of the “Newark Evening News” catches our attention, and what do we see but headlines in bold print reading “Celestar Barnes and Gwendolyn Bell return from Two Weeks’ Honeymoon!” As the pages turn, we note that Ann Gazerro and Ruth Summers, star team of the roller derby, are skating two weeks from now, and the ticket sales are a sellout! While we were glancing through the theater section, we read that Georgiana Bryant, famous costume designer, has finally talked the London Ballet Company into making “The Red Shoes” an actual ballet; Anna Marie Liloia, prima ballerina, will be the featured star. Again the scene changes . . . Мате Giammona thinks her eyes are deceiving her when she meets Elinor Illick, the airline pilot, who is flying her so safely to Paris. Finally arriving they are both pleased to see Rose DiChiara who is visiting the ex quisite French beauty salons. While visiting the elegant “Tour de L’Argent,” we wave to Patricia Nardiello who is having dinner there. We were leaving the restaurant when we met Geraldine De- Luca in her khaki sergeant’s uniform. She is going to the wedding of Mary Ann Benanti who is marry- ing a distinguished foreigner. Annette Tobie is the maid of honor and Grace Robertello is one of the bridesmaids, What a small world this is! Can you imagine? Inna Corbo's 49 Chevie made a cross country tour. She is also attending the wedding. The wed- ding is now over and Carmela Saragusa is making her name world renowned by giving Josephine Gitto treatments to make her the ninety-nine pounds she has always wanted to weigh. Traveling back home we chance to see Constance Griggs’ name in a 1967 edition of “Vogue” maga- zine. Rachel Pennetti also is returning from Italy, and we tell her that we had seen Frances Palermo sporting beautiful, long hair! Driving home, we see Theresa O'Flaherty and her twelve sons; she told us that Rose Milano married Jerry Coleman, Yankee baseball star, and that Rachel Rosano mar- ried Burt Lancaster’s twin brother. Why there’s Frances Johnson! She’s just returned from a Bermuda trip with her husband. What is Frances trying to tell us? . . . Oh! that Eleanor Karkosky has taken a Florida honeymoon; that IS good to hear. Marie DiNola has taken time out from “bridal shop work to make her debut as an interpretive dancer; she says that Jean Lashendock is the best bridal gown designer in the field. Ever in love with the progressive clothing styles, Vera Maddox established her own dress shop after finishing de- signing school with honors. All the girls in the Art Department were flab bergasted to see Patricia Huck, the world famous artist, collaborating with Jon Whitcomb. (My, but she seems extremely interested! Mrs. David Mattis (Joyce Gatling), Margaret Spina, and Marinda Gazerro are all outstanding fashion experts and designers. They're attending the annual fashion festival at the swank Waldorf- Astoria Roof where Geraldine Burns is mistress of ceremonies. They have so much to talk about that we have to leave because of the noise! At the same showing were hair creations by stylists Mary Crute and Wilhelmina Marshall. John D. Rockefeller’s private secretary, Rose Polo, was at the showing choosing elaborate styles for dinner dates. We see also that Marion Ruglio has left her calling card. Miss Ruglio is private comptometer operator for the Treasurer of the United States. Betty Orlaski, cur- rently appearing in “Carmen” at the Metropolitan Opera House, had flashbulbs snapping all over the Waldorf Roof when she made her entrance. Her fabulous outfit was made by Mary Matarazzo who herself has made a name as traditional as Schiapa- relli. Ann Chislock has just come in and is telling of her exciting world trip. Now we really have to leave, what with all the racket from the “Ohing!” and “Ahing!” over Ann’s trip. The looking glass is very cooperative because now it has changed its scene to the peace and quiet of Grand Canyon—but even here—more Essex High! However, we don’t mind because we’re having so much fun! It seems that Katherine Ferguson has built a fabulous ranch-styled house right near the Canyon. What an unpredictable but beautiful view she must have from her windows. Mary Lynn Warrick has thoroughbred horses running all over the place; but since they’re best in the country, they are extra-privileged animals. All of this western air is getting Wilhelmina Hart up at four in the morning to do road work. Willie is training for her physical education teach- ing after her vacation is through. Rosemarie No- tare, Rose DeFalco and Joan Carambatos have all become cultured, traveled, and married women. This week-end they all flew to the Grand Canyon in Joan’s jet helicopter. Both Helen Antonczak and Dolores Poprotsky are married and live in darling white houses with green shutters and picket fences. Ann Murphy is coming to visit her former classmates. As she parks her Cadillac convertible, we see that the front passes Helen’s little house and the back has passed Dolores’s house. Yes, indeed, that is some car! Janet Therien, too, is married and informs us that Mary Heintz is still in love... . Eleanor Sacharanski and Anna Fontana discov- ered that each looked familiar to the other when they met in Bermuda. (Now where have I seen her before?) Joan Karidas can still mambo, but concentrates on her work in an exclusive bridal shop. Jo anie’s trying very hard to tell us that Antha Palmisano is married to a drummer from La Turrane’s and we're trying equally hard to let her know that we already know it. Somewhere in New Jersey The Society for Dig- nified Young Married Women is meeting and among its most ardent members are Matti: Bryan, Bernice Randolph, Johanna Garofala and Luwenia Montgomery. All of the girls say their husbands are pretty lucky fellows... could be! ! At Newark’s Saint Michael’s Hospital, head nurse Frances Kosciolek met Miriam Green, who is nurse to a pediatrician. Serena MacLane and her million dollars and Ann Sode in her full length mink coat met Rose- тате DelGuercio who has grown six feet tall! ! Well—they aren’t any more surprised than we are! Ann Ragosa who is just beginning her four year nap, makes a modern sleeping beauty. Just before dozing off, Ann did get a good look at Betty_Gress’s children; they all looked like Bob. The final glimpse reveals that two more Essex High girls have realized their chosen ambitions; Miss Barbara Farrand has just completed a series of satisfying world tours and champion skater Phyl- lis White has successfully obtained all the laurels deserving of a true winner! But—too soon . . . our “Magic Looking Glass” again is reflecting the faces of the graduating glass. We know that this is the limit of its powers and that the finish of the tale is up to us! Of course, our class prophecy was created only in fun. We enjoyed doing it because it was symbolic of the good times that went with four vears of learning. To prove, however, that we can be serious thinkers, three of us made the following statement when asked about future ambitions: Flora Borbone—Beauty Culture To make my family proud of me. Anna Mae Briante—Dressmaking To let my years of education be useful to me as a dressmaker and designer. Carol Hand—Food Service I always hope to please everyone no matter what I try to undertake. I wish to be in contact with the public. I have also decided that one can’t have marriage and a career too, but I hope to achieve a happy married life! And truly these are our sentiments exactly!

The average student will take about ten months to complete the required work, during which time she attends the beauty culture classes for one thousand hours and learns all the skills necessary to pass the State Board of Beauty Culture Control licensing examination for operators. Beauty Culture Trade students participate in many Essex High activities, such as the talent show, school parties, dances and GINNY demonstrations. NUERIO The dramatic club is made up of members who have as a necessary qualification the love of the Thespian’s art. A desire to evoke their latent expression, natural action, and feeling of freedom is fostered among them, The scenes shown on this page depict their talents in all phases: acting, make-up, costuming, and designing. With their natural vivacity, these drama students add even more ani- mation to their characterization of elves. Their costumes made by the drama students enhance their elfishness. To vividly characterize the drama tudents into little elves or heavenly ngels, we allow the make-up depart- ent to complete the picture. With heir ingenuity we have green faces, zlowing angelic faces, or just what he script says.

The Glee Club made several appearances on our stage this year. The “Indian Love Call” was sung at Open House in the fall, and at Christ- mas a candlelight procession proceded a pro- gram of carols—old and new. This was pre- sented both to the student body, and to the ladies at the Baptist Home, Newark, where the Glee Club later appeared for a spring “return en- gagement. Providing music for the Easter Program and joining in a Spring Music Festival of Vocational and Technical High Schools promises to bring the year's activities to a successful close.

We select three separate squads of cheerleaders to represent the Newark, Irvington and Bloomfield Schools. The girls are uniformed by the schools and are given the privilege of cheering at all football and basketball games. The pep, enthusiasm and sportsmanship shown by our girls at the games 18 certainly an inspiration to our boys’ teams in their fight for victory. Newark Tech.
