Our History The opening scene of this drama takes place in the confines of that well-known house of learning, the Albert N. Parlin Jr. High School, in the year of nineteen hundred fifty- five. Participating is a well-known cast of Catherine Apruzzese, President; George Oliviero, Vice-Presi- dent; Jeraldine Russo, Secretary; Louise Corricelli, Treasurer; ably assisted by a mob-scene of about four hundred characters. With the coming of fall, our spirited class cheer- ed our victorious team on the field as well as on the court. A sturdy lot, a vibrant group, a cast of work- ers all! How delicaiely is handled the first real social on a Friday afternoon when we saw the smiling faces of our ninth-graders; as they danced ever so smooth- ly; and how improved they seemed to be as the year passes. Activity is the bye-word as is proved by the over-whelming response to the call for athletic teams, debating teams, band, orchestra, glee club, talent show, public speaking contest, and other var- ied activities. This all-too-short, action-filled act is hi-lighted by the awarding of the Parlin P to thirty-three of the worthy cast. As the curtain falls, the climax is reached with the entire cast being presented certifi- cates of achievement which grant them the privilege of carrying their play to a larger theater--Everett High- -OUR SCHOOL! Adjustment of the cast to its new environment in the Everett High School seems, at first, to be chaotic. Like unwanted children they wander about looking for an elevator, while being laughed at, scorned, and ridiculed. Gone is the dignity of its position in life. Gradually this class, like a ship on a stormy sea, seeks haven and guidance in its leaders. Once again it ' s Catherine Apruzzese as President, Ann Campbell as Vice-President, Tena Lawrence as Secretary and Damon Bradley as Treasurer. As an added feature to the leading players we find great- er representation is needed. Our entire cast rises to the call and elects to student council: Francis Vultaggio, Ann Collari, and Marie Senibaldi. The first taste of true unity comes in quick time as the class is represented on the football field by Giuliano, Evans, Michalski, and LePore. This is the first out- ward sign that the Class of ' 60 is truly needed and welcome. The scene of action passes to the gym where the first social of the year is held--the Sophomore Hop . Progress is shown throughout the year as these little sophomores gradually adjust themselves and show their abilities by performing in the band, or- chestra, Gilbert and Sullivan, and the Talent Show. As the year draws to a close, after what seems to be a dragged- out length of time, we see our class --a real THREAT to the upper classmen by thier scholastic, athletic, and social abilities. September again and we gaze at the cast which has grown into young ladyhood and young manhood. How they strut and lord it over those poor sopho- mores. How short is their memory in one brief year. This time Nina Chiarello is chosen President; June Talbot, Vice-President; Tena Lawrence, Se- cretary, and Grace Ffando, Treasurer. Marie Seni- baldi, Jeraldine Russo, Mary Capachetti and Joan Colombo are chosen as members of the student coun- cil. In the field of sports, Lepore, Giannino, Motroni, Barbaro, and numerous others are standouts. Our junior class was very active, participating in Drama- tic Club, Gilbert and Sullivan, Girls ' Glee Club, Lyceum, and many others. But to climax this won- derful year of football, basketball games, dances, assemblies, (and of course we musn ' t forget studies), the class of ' 60 presented its prom. This memor- able night will never be forgotten by those who at- tended. Richard Morello and Janet Tuovinen were chosen King and Queen. This marked the close of our junior year; and we could hardly wait for the biggest and greatest year to come. It seems only yesterday that this same group met in this same assembly hall for the purpose of homeroom distribution. The full forces of the re- alization that this is the last time does not strike this happy lot. To begin the year, we chose Richard Forestiere President: Dana Walsh, Vice-President; Carol Scanzillo, Secretary, and George Summers, Treas- urer. Representing us on the student council were: Brian Donnelly, Marie Senibaldi, Jeraldine Russo, Nina Chiarello and Mary Capachetti; who at once, swung into the task of preparing assemblies and functions to make this the biggest and the best year. Billy Anzivino is chosen Editor-in-Chief on the yearbook; ably assisted by Jackie Lee, Sally Saia, and Jean Mayo. Those old familiar faces of Giuliano, Centurino, Summers, Temple, Evans, Digby, Russo, Michalski, LaCourt, Lee, Gianino, Montroni, stars in the field 01 sports, really proved their great abilities. EHShas every reason to be proud of these boys. As for our new hockey team, well, it was fun! The Christmas danye with Giggie as Santa, the enter- taining Gilbert and Sullivan production, the Dramatic Club play, and of course the Talent Show packed full of members of our oh-so-talented class shall never be forgotten by any of us. And to give foreign in- trigue, let ' s add the Italian and French Club plays, also praise to the Spanish Club ' s Pinata Party for underpriviledged children! The Yearbook Dance was just great. Charlotte Dunbrack was chosen as Queen and Ursula Scarpellini, Nina Chiarillo, Angela DiDonato, Eileen Cardillo and Jeraldine Russo, were on the Queen ' s court. The old smoothies, Josephine Giacobbe and Brian Donnelly were our Waltz King and Queen. Withthe coming of April, so came Good Govern- ment Day. Joseph Lepore was chosen to represent Everett in the State House. Before we knew it, that long-awaited night arrived. The Senior Prom was held on April 29. It was a night of perfect enjoy- ment. And too quickly this last year of school passes on. How time does fly. Only yesterday it seems that we entered this play, and here tomorrow, is the future. Farewell classmates and actors all! May your future be just as bright as your past and may your Memories be always of the nice things and the best friends of t his your class of 1960.
