ROETZER In grateful appreciation of willing service this issue of THE PHILOMATH is respectfully dedicated. THE PHILOMATH Glass history Lightning tore the atmosphere asunder, thunder echoed violently around the world; but on earth, in the progressive town of Framingham, a different type of conflict was taking place. It seems that on this day, the doors of Framingham High School were thrown open and a new class of wailing sophomores was forced through them. As they, the sophomores, filed through the dark gloom, hisses, scorn, and jeers were cast upon them, but they were proud and confident, this Class of 1948, and the upper classmen were soon to learn to tread lightly on this powerful group of students. As we had proved to the seniors that we were a class to be feared, they felt it advisable to sponsor a dance in our honor, which, of course, turned out to be a great success. We then decided, with the help of the faculty, that a class of our calibre should have leaders, so class elections were held. The spirit was somewhat curtailed by the fact that campaign assemblies were not allowed; but even so, we rose to the occa- sion and selected Robert Belmonte, Presi- dent; George Lentoni, Vice-President; Kay Corbin, Secretary; and Robert Campion, Treasurer. Spring was fast approaching, and we felt it was our right to relax from our tedious studying by gazing around in search of a prima donna to escort to the Junior Prom. Our girls, all of whom are on a par with Powers ' models, were rushed off their feet by the upper classmen; but our gallant males, not to be denied, soon repulsed the attack, and brought peace and happiness once more to the fairer members of our class. Those who were able to find an available partner for the Prom declared that the social event was a splendid one with the girls in gowns and the boys c-o-m-f-o-r-t-a-b-l-y laced into their tuxes. This was the last big event for us as sophomores, for it seems that a two months ' vacation was due us. On return- ing, for some reason or other, we were to be referred to as juniors. (Well, what ' d ya know!) We went back to F.H.S. in the fall, still amazed by this mysterious revelation. We were great; we knew it; but we were not conceited. Why, we even protected the sophomores from the seniors, an act un- heard of previous to that time. Our first act as little wheels was to select Mr. Riordan as our class adviser. We later found that he had played the greatest role in bringing our class to its present status. (Whatever that may be, he did it.) At this time we were informed that an organization, known as the Student Coun- cil, had passed a ruling which allowed a class only two sets of officers instead of the customary three. This meant that our elected officials would serve us through our junior year, and new elections to see who would lead us as seniors would take place after the Prom. We then proceeded to prepare a Prom that was to excel all Proms. It was such a gala event that even the seniors stayed to the end, a practice which seemed to be outdated at the time. At last the tyrants left. Yes, the seniors, knowing that we were preparing a rebel- lion against them, decided to allow them- selves to be graduated and thus prevent disaster at the hands of the mighty juniors. We then proceeded to rule the school in a fair and just fashion. Why, as I remem- ber it, we even let the sophomores come into the lunchroom and sit down to eat with us. (Ha! ha! ha!) 10 - THE PHILOMATH Feeling that we had suffered enough at the hands of our beloved teachers, we re- quested a ten weeks ' vacation, which was granted, provided we would return to school in September. This we consented to do only after considerable deliberation. When we were recalled to dear old F.H.S., a band, consisting of faculty mem- bers, was there to greet us. We felt grand as the lower classmen rushed about us, begging us to let them assist us in any way possible. Following the salutations, we prepared a dance, under the guidance of our offi- cers — who were John King, President; Joseph Tosti, Vice-President; Irene Mc- Phee, Secretary; and Emil Macura, Treas- urer — to be held for the sophomores. This affair, like all others we undertook, turned out to be a howling success. While some of us were busy with our studies, others with sports, and others just being good followers, time began to slip through our fingers. First the Senior Play was here and gone, and next the Music Festival zipped by. Dizzier and dizzier we grew — whatever happened to Class Night? We became more confused, and finally through the mist of graduation we heard our names piercing the dim atmos- phere of Nevins Hall. We rose, received our congratulations, and amidst the famil- iar farewells and best wishes, our greatness began to fade, and the Class of 1948 took its place in the annals of history of the Framingham High School.

In this case, however, the situation seems to be entirely reversed, for before you can say Herman Shwartz is a schmoe we find ourselves in 1958. I climbed into my rocket ship and took off for Mars. I was going to get a candy bar. (Pun.) Ten years ago this trip would have been thought impossible, but we fool- ish mortals had not reckoned with the mental prowess of those two brilliant physicists, Marie Calabrese and Edo Bar- badora. Not only have these two per- fected the rocket ship and corrected an error in the calendar, thus giving us seven- ty-two hours a day, but Edo has also learned how to make the eight ball on the break without scratching. Two big business tycoons, AUa)i Haivks and Wd- I ' lam Snow, quick to realize the possibilities of rocket ship travel, had opened a fac- tory for producing these planes. Since this was the first factory of its kind, it had, under the management of Frances Higgins and Elaine Benoit, surpassed all previous records of manufacturing rocket ships. Turning on the automatic pilot, I settled back to listen to my favorite radio pro- gram, Just Plain Taloola, starring Marion MacLeod as Taloola with Bob Langtry as her witty husband, Moe. Suddenly the commercial, advertising yW zrj (£.) Carlson ' s Kelley green pills, was in- terrupted to bring us an important news bulletin. Flash! Bud Long ' s new book, The Gay Caballero or My Weekend Ad- ventures at the Club, had just been banned in Boston. The program continued with- out further interruption, and soon the wrestling match between Vita Diana, the woman champ managed by Richard Buz- zell, and Beverly Levenson, the challenger, was being broadcast. It was rumored that Bev would emerge the victor because she had been instructed in the art of judo by that famous trainer and ex-marine, George Johnson. Unfortunately I had forgotten to take Paul Ablondi ' s and Beverly Mc- Vay ' s new drink, Ne Dormez Pas, which is guaranteed to keep you awake, and so I did not know what the outcome of the match was. I awoke just as the landing strip on Mars became visible. Glancing at my watch, I found it had stopped, but I guessed that the trip had taken approximately ten hours because I had had five o ' clock shadow twice. As I made my way toward the factory, whom should I meet but Doris Anderson and Raymond Cunningham. They ex- plained to me that they were looking for a suitable place on Mars to build another shopping center, but they had decided it would be better to look for a place on some other planet since Fran Merusi ' s gigantic Framingham Store, with its efficient sales staff of Anne Allen, Jane Clark. Lorraine DeCicco and Jo Freedman, was monopolizing the business in women ' s clothing, and that Grant ' s, under the able supervision of Marjorie Grover, was mo- nopolizing the department store business. While we were talking, who should stroll by but Alice Hollander and (that ' s right) Jo Basile. Both were pushing carriages in which sat two of the cutest tykes I have ever seen. One was twirling a baton and the other was playing catch with a bowling ball. Just then I remembered I hadn ' t eaten that day, so I stopped in at Dick Cox ' s res- taurant. There wasn ' t a soul in the place, so I wondered how he could afford four such lovely waitresses as Marjorie Colp, Irene Garvin, Dot Dakai and Ann Cronan. Just then a tough-looking man came in and went directly to the back room. After 12 THE PHILOMflTH three quick knocks and two slow ones, the door opened and the man slipped two dol- lars to D ck, saying, Joe sent me. Here was the answer to my question of how he could afford those glamorous waitresses. While waiting for my dinner to be served, I put a nickel in the juke box and listened to the melodious strains of Slap Her Down Again, Paw, sung by John Zanella, the ragtime cowboy, accompanied by that famous pianist from Carnegie Hall, ]ob)! Eresian and his geometrically ar- ranged orchestra. Just as I finished my meal, in walked Lennie Drew and R cjy Sti cchi, those two brilliant students who had just graduated from the Sam Houston Institute of Technology. Lennie told me that he and Rudy had just invented a pair of galvanized galoshes, which are guaran- teed to protect you from being struck down by lightning. I also learned from him that Betty Barclay and William Reardon, both former mayors of Saxonville who had been exiled to Mars when the Roundheads took over, were now working as ushers in Louis Piga ' s Tripoli Tambourine Theatre and that night besides the regular show featur- ing those Sirens of Song and Dance, Ruth Shaiighiiessy, Shirley Potter, Irene McPhee, and jiiue McAnulty, they would have as guests those two hockey stars, Todi Madden and Lloyd Nolan, who would tell how they, single-handed, had won the championship for the Mugging Mudturtles of Mars. After much discussion, I finally per- suaded the boys to go to the basketball game between Athens High, coached by Spero Melegos. and Natick High. Spero had had offers from almost every big high school on Earth, but unfortunately he wanted to coach a team that was out of this world. Incidentally his team ' s won and lost record was ninety-two and two, being beaten twice by F.H.S. joh)i Moore, the assistant coach, later informed me that Spero had used fourth-string subs in those games because he couldn ' t bear to see his old alma mater lose. ' We waddled up to the box office on our knees, but unfortunately the sharp eyes of ticket seller Jinie Chap pel I spotted my Jerry Colonna moustache and we had to buy adult tickets, which we gave to col- lector Mary Malloy. Since there were a few minutes to spare before referee Bob Foley blew the whistle starting the game, we blended in with the crowd, watching Shirley Bligh give a punching bag demon- stration. She claimed that Brown and Horton ' s was the only store that sold a bag which punched back when you hit it. Tired of seeing Shirley beaten up by the punching bag, we went to our seats. Soon all the celebrities began appearing. First Nardi hi Brunetta, the opera star of Duffy ' s Tavern, came in with Phil, and a few min- utes later Katherine Rousseau, the actress, fresh from her success in The Iceman Had Red Hair, came in with Howie. I heard a long-drawn whistle, and turning around, I saw Powers ' model Rosalie Tre- deau saunter in leading Eddie on a leash. The press was also represented by Gloria Wagstaff, the editor of The Inmates ' Waller, formerly The Student Crier, and her side-kick photographer, Harriet W ard . They were interviewing that lum- ber mill tycoon, Catherine Tira ani. and it was a work of art the way they did it. As Gloria asked questions, Ada G random took Catherine ' s replies down in short- hand and passed the sheet to typist T helm a Whiting, who after typing it, sent it im- mediately to the composing room by car- rier pigeon. All this time Harriet had been snapping pictures. Just then usher Merle Goldman gently tapped me on the shoulder with a baseball bat and informed me that a message had come from Earth saying that an event of great importance was about to happen and that I should leave immediately. I rushed to my rocket ship and took off. THE PHILOMATH -4 13 Hoping ro find out what this event was, I turned on the radio in time to get the last part of a news flash which was as follows : Police Chief josephhie TaviboUio has just found an unidentified man in the Sud- bury River with a block of cement fastened to his legs. His arms were broken in three places and his head had been twisted so that he was looking backwards. Foul play is suspected. Making use of my two-way radio, I called the police station, but I could hardly believe my ears when I was told the news that had amazed the world. After ten years, Vtnny Pearl was at last graduating! I landed my rocket ship and ran to Bill Abloudi ' s house to tell him the news. When I revived him, I found that he also had something to tell me. William George. After meeting Bill George, I went into Al ' s Heavenly Emporium, which boasted sixteen barbers, and a girl for every chair. No sooner had I stepped through the door, than Al Collotta grabbed me by the arm and threw me into a chair. Between cuts from his chipped razor and jabs from the manicure girl, who was Priscilla Gahm, I learned something of my old classmates. It seems that Loias Ferri, Dick Goldrick, and Big Ed Balboni had control of all the barrooms and bookie shops on HoUis and Waverly Streets, and were slowly squeezing the competition out of Saxonville. Their biggest establishment, The Roundup, advertised as positively the last week of Carolyn Coyne, the Queen of Burlesque. Frank (This-gun-for-hire) Mangini, was their trigger-man in charge of collecting debts, and throwing bombs. I also learned that Joe Tost} had a super deluxe, self- service gas station. Customers get their own supplies, and girls on roller skates collect sales. Heading the list of roving collectors were Theresa Franchi, Mary Ann Leveille, Gorda Loonier, and Louise Pellegrini. When Al ran out of gossip, I picked up a paper and almost dropped as I read that Betty Maeder ' s campaign to annex HoUis- ton to Framingham was successful, and that Gloria Speigel, Framingham ' s Mayor, was sending two representatives, Peter Botazzi and Allen Morini, to investigate possibilities. I noticed that Frank Grange, America ' s foremost pianist, was now ap- pearing at the Met. Finally having been shaved, manicured, and clipped for a buck, I stepped out into the bustling street and saw Frances McCarthy, Commander of the Police- woman ' s Department, giving Dorothy Ber- tolino a ticket for going too fast in her doughnut truck. I started to walk across the street when someone pulled me back just in time to see Kay Lavin, of the Lavin Truck Co., drive over the spot where I had been standing. I thanked my rescuer, Billy Allen. Talking to Billy, I learned that he and Will Rousseau were operating a pool-parlor with an opium room in the back. Also, that Hanson was burning up both leagues in baseball, with fifty home runs and a batting average of .427, and ]oe Coco was the nation ' s highest money-making jockey. After talking with Billy for a while, I started to walk by the park and saw Rita Johnson, Geraldine Hunter, Margaret Curley, and Phyllis Chipman standing in a crowd. I investigated and found that Dick Condon was standing on a soap box, tell- ing in long drawn-out words why we should vote for Joan Daniels as Framing- ham ' s representative to Congress. How- ever, Jimmy Gavin and Phil Dyer, mem- bers of the efficient police force, came along, and dispersed the crowd. Strolling farther up the street, I saw Richy Macrelli, struggling young engineer, supervising a group of men, some of whom I recognized as Leon Marsh, Henry Norton, and Tom 14 - THE PHILOMATH Regan. They were completing the work of the new underpass, which takes traffic under the railroad tracks. Just then, the new, non-stop Super Chief, with Frank Falcon , head engineer, whizzed through town. Farther up Concord Street, I looked in the window of a woman ' s beauty salon, and saw Charley Walker, famous hair stylist, giving Janet Quinn one of his famous creations, while Barbara White, Lucy Fiona, and Dorothy Kelley looked on in amazement. Up the street, ]oe Shay, dynamic criminal lawyer and his famous adversary, Robert (Haven ' t-lost-a-case-yet) Zinck, Framingham ' s District Attorney, were coming out of the court house. Just about then, I got tired of walking around and headed for the nearest theatre. The Bijou, owned by Allen Cronin, was closest, so I bought my ticket from Marjo- rie Carter, the smiling ticket girl, and en- tered. While groping for a seat, I received a kick in the shins and was just about to roll off a list of words stored up in the back of my mind for just this kind of occasion, when Nancy Buck came along with her flashlight and found me a seat. In the newsreel Barbara Valliere was crowned Queen of the Lady Wrestlers. Barbara ' s advice to young hopefuls is, Patience, fortitude, and the will to get ahead, plus a neck-breaking half-Nelson, will make any girl a queen. There was also a short subject entitled, Life on the Riviera. In it I saw Marie Bastien and Barbara Hil- dreth lying on the beach, soaking up the French sun. The main picture was The Life of Marjorie Main, starring Framing- ham ' s own Marguerite Hayes. Coming out of the show, I stepped into the new Wellworth, which had been re- modeled after the recent gang war staged in town had destroyed the dining room. Betty Sullivan, the head waitress, waited on me personally. She told me that most of the food I was eating had been raised on Clifford Knight ' s collective farm. I paid my bill to Virginia Worrey, the cashier, and bought a package of cigarettes from Dorothy Diatalevi, the cigarette girl. Stepping out into the street, I encountered Adele Tersoni, who told me she was now a career girl with an advertising agency. It was just about time for me to leave dear old Framingham, so I headed for the railroad station. I bought my ticket from Arlene Arbour, and proceeded to wait for the train. I noticed that Irene Dellasanta was running the magazine and candy stand in the station. Finally my train arrived, and as I was getting on I met Rosemary Doran and Barney Buttrey getting off. These two girls had the unfortunate fate to wind up being old maids. However, they are having a swell time running a fraternity home for men. I ' ll let them tell you about it. William Ablondi. After we left Billy, we saw as we passed the railroad tracks Eddie Croatti, Carlo Knock-em-dead Galvani. Charlie Pon- tremoli, Francis Vittori, and Dom Slim Zaffino, hopping a freight to escape George Lentoni, president of the State Teachers College. Leaving the boys in their sad flight, we saw Joan McLellan and Margaret Fantoni, co-owners of J. J. New- berry, Inc., in conference with Web Brock- elman. Listening in, we discovered that they were making plans to import Dona Mayo and Shirley Ellis, who, at that time, were demonstrating the latest fashion in horseshoes on Dave Pop Flanders ' farm. Going by the bus stop, we saw sitting be- hind the wheel of a bus, Jimmy Walsh, who had only recently won the Adele Atkins award for slow drivers. Jimmy told us that the new rocket buses were owned by Cynthia Butler, the reformed speed demon. Suddenly our ears were smitten by the strains of a beautiful song. Peering around the corner of Newberry ' s, our amazed eyes beheld Jackie Jetvell singing THE PHILOMATH 15 for the Salvation Army in the park. Bill Doniey was accompanying her on his tuba. Among the group throwing pennies at Jackie and Bill, we spotted Nina Anibrog- gi, Ann Ashman, and Russell Clark. Sneaking around on the outside of the crowd was Joe Coco, trying to sell Vincent Ferraro a bag of slugs. We found Marty Lynch crawling around under the benches, stealing peanuts from the pigeons. Leav- ing Marty to his little game, we meandered over to Bob Hinckley ' s Hash House for a sody. Inside, we found that Wj Rice had been promoted to hostess because of her uncanny ability to snitch tips better than any of the other waitresses, among whom were LinJa Pacheco, Mary Curley, Pat Dai ' itt and Irene Haynes. Suddenly we were startled by a thick, creamy chocolate frappe which was poured playfully down our backs by soda-jerk Malen Barker. Im- mediately, cashier Jean Frazer, bus-boys Robert Benefito and John Grasso, and floor mopper, Yorke Murphy, rushed to our assistance. Before we could stop them, they tore off our soiled dresses, sent them to Dot Zucchi ' s Zippy Cleaners, and gave each of us a new outfit from Jackie White ' s Department Store. Dishwasher Dolly Fraser then came out to greet us, wiping her hands on one of Mary Agostinelli ' s hand-made aprons. Following her was Dick Acton, chef of the Hash House. They were anxious to tell us of the outstanding success of Bob Campion, who had recently been elected to the office of head yes- man to the seventy-third vice-president of the Fraternal Order of Firecrackers. Overwhelmed by Bob ' s exploits, we de- cided to take in a movie. Stampeding over to the St. George, we were greeted at the cashier ' s window by Barbara Jones, who willingly took our money. As soon as we reached the lobby, doorman Sherman Crawford grabbed our arms and twisted them until we finally surrendered and gave him our tickets. More of our money went into theatre manager Jack Locke ' s pocket when we stopped at the candy counter, un- able to resist Kay Corbin ' s wistful smile. Stumbling down the dark aisle, preceded by Gardner Gould and his flashlight, we fell over Louis Zanchi, who told us that he was looking for his friend Tony Stucchi. Finally we found a seat, right beside our former inmates at F.H.S., Ann Dawson, Minnie laniro, Jean Hilton, and Norma Stapleton. They were all sitting on top of Mary Cunneen, because the five of them could get in for the price of one that way. Oh, well, girls will be girls! We were just settling down to watch the newsreel, which was about Fran Ciccarelli and his football Hot-Shots, when someone reached over and grabbed my candy bar. Naturally, I screamed bloody murder and all eyes turned on Priscilla Leach, who was calmly sharing the stolen sweet with Bruce Pf dif- fer, her best beau. Near by was Joan Lund- berg, looking jealously at Bruce. Holding Joan ' s hand and looking jealously at Priscilla, was Eddie Mahan. (Complicated, isn ' t it?) We forced our eyes back on the screen and found that John ' s Only Wife, star- ring John Rutter and Johanna Clancy, was just starting. The picture was produced by Joe Porcello and directed by Bob Pierce. Chief artist for the picture was Thelma Grossman. After the first feature was over, Josie Ceccaroni put the lights on and passed the hat to raise funds for Ned Cur- ran ' s school for disabled hockey players. Josie held the hat in front of us for a full twenty minutes before she realized that we weren ' t contributing. After intermission we were entertained by Pauli Towne, the celebrated bubble dancer. Pauli had some difficulty keeping her balloons inflated be- cause Don Blanchette, sitting in the first row balcony, was throwing darts where they did the most good. The second feature was a comedy with Mackey Thomas, successor to Maurice 16 - THE PHILOMATH The Lip Chevalier, and Betty S eczs- kowski, successor to Vera Vague. Ann Garbarino and Audrey Vinkehtehi were rivals for the affection of Louis Tvavaglini. On the way out of the cinema (that ' s Chinese for movies) we noticed George Kad ' ivonyk, surrounded as usual by a bevy of beautiful girls, among whom we saw Greta Bjorkman, Adele Higghis, Barb Miller, and Pat Desmond. Outside, on top of the National Bank, we saw a huge billboard heralding the arrival of Katie Ouinzani and her famous all-girl orchestra, featuring Dolly Barley, as vocalist, Marcia Ring and her hot trumpet, and Martha Whiting and her violin. Next we went into the Reform School for Drifting Debs and Floating Fellows, which was owned and operated by Pat Maroni and Joan Mehigan. Joan and Pat told us that they had just brought in two of our old classmates, Ray Crosby and Clarence Smith. This was Clarence ' s second offense. He ' d done a stretch before for ringing in false alarms. Leaving the school, we were immediate- ly run over by a jet-propelled automobile. Then the driver, none other than Nicky Melegos, picked us up, threw us in the back seat, and asked us if we ' d like a ride up to Farm Pond to see the newly opened boat yard. Not seeing any means of escape, we said we ' d love to. Off we went and we reached the pond in two and three-quarter seconds. (Nicky told us that her car ran by atomic power!) At the pond, we fell out, and whom should we see swabbing the decks of one of the yachts but Alan Kendrick. Alan told us that he got his swabby experience from his many years in the Navy. ' 7e abo learned that all the boats were the prop- erty of Red King, mayor of the town. We were glad to hear that Red had graduated from a flatfoot to a flat-headed politician. Speak of the devil, as the saying goes, and in came Red, dragging behind him his wife, Lorra ne Landsburg, and their thir- teen little devils. You can see that Red ' s not superstitious. The reason for this fam- ily get-together was the chris tening of a new boat by Nancy Haughey. The boat was to be christened The Shack. We said good-bye to all our friends and got into Nicky ' s Atomic Auto. Getting back into town, we were thrown out by Nicky ' s boy friend, Emil Macura, who needed all the room for his many Olympic medals, which he always carried around with him. We landed on the safety island in front of what was formerly the Memorial Build- ing, but which now housed the offices of Emilie Moxon and her Clean-Up Cuties, a new name for the Board of Health. As we passed, we waved to Emilie, and then we went into Hughes ' , which was owned and operated by Wanda Bradley, Ph.D., A.B. C, X.Y.Z., the head pharmacist. Wanda told us that she had added a floor show for the entertainment of the high school crowd. The show featured ]anet Mitchell, as vocalist, and Phyllis Grady and Carolyn Madden, can-can dancers. After a short one (coke, that is!) we went out on the Avenue and noticed a new dress shop run by Rita Capra and Mary Tagliaferri. As we passed, we saw Irene Ottaviani cutting off some of the New Look dresses to make them over into the Newest Look dresses, which were fourteen inches above the knee, hies Ametti almost knocked us over as she came rushing out. She cooled of? just long enough to tell us that she had tried in vain to get Mary and Rita to go into business with herself and Margaret Main, co-owners of an exclusive Men ' s Store. Walking along, we stopped in amazement in front of the new high school. Rushing in before the last bell for old times ' sake, we trampled over Bob Belnionte, the re- cently appointed principal of the school. Dusting himself off. Bob gave us permis- THE PHILOMATH - 17 sion to inspect his beautiful domain. As we snuck by the main office (we just couldn ' t forget our old habits),. we discov- ered new faces in that little office so famil- iar to the Class of ' 48. Sylvia Cooney and ]o-Ann Gleason were the new inhabitants of the dismal dungeon. Continuing our explorations we saw Pat Foley teaching a geometry class in the hallway between rooms 111 and 112. Noticing the strange location of a classroom, we asked Pat the reason and she told us that the new gym and cafeteria took up so much room that all classes had been forced into the cor- ridors. The gold-plated escalators looked invit- ing to our stair-weary eyes, but we just couldn ' t resist the special student elevators, with built-in soda fountains, run by chief operator Jeanne Cavatorta, and her assist- ants Nina Walker, Mary Veiga, and Millie hombardo. As we stepped inside, Jeanne told us that she was just on her way to the Roof Garden, which was reserved for the pupils who wanted to take a sun bath in- stead of a trigonometry class. (Boy, have times changed along with the new prin- cipal!) We decided to get off at the fifteenth floor, which was just halfway to the top. The first one to greet us as we fell out was Rhoda Mason, whose second half of her dual personality had come out just before graduation, and in consequence, she was still making up time for playing hookey. We then caught a glimpse of Kathleen Manning, being chased around the corner by Betty Buck Devine. Coming out of the teachers ' lounge, we saw Alice Mc- Govern, now teaching sociology, Phil Thomas, professor of the shop department, and Anna TaniboUio, head sewing teacher. Because we wanted to see the new gym, we took a short cut through a convenient laundry chute. Halfway down, we were stopped by Joanne Keaney and Jeanette Marenghi, who were crawling up the chute to escape the new girls ' gym teacher. Buzz Wolf Seariac. Burrowing around the fleeing girls, we bumped right into Buzz, who was trying to escape Lila Knorr, the boys ' gym teacher. When we reached the bottom of the laundry chute, we were going so fast that we fell right through the cellar of the high school into the middle of the Earth, and no one has ever heard from us, or seen us since. Barbara Buttrey, Rosemary Doran, 18 THE PHILOMATH Glass We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-eight, being the most industrious, wittiest and craziest class ever to graduate from F.H.S., leave this our last will and testament.
